NFHS 3 Officials Mechanics Examination Question

[Scooby]

Question 53. True or false.

The lead official has three-point try responsibilities from the near sideline corner to the near free-throw line extended.

I answered False and the answer key has true? With the reference 3.3.4.B.3.
That took me to page 64 of the Officials Manual and diagram 3-22. Though diagram 3-22 does not indicate that the lead has any 3-point responsibilities.

So is this a wrong answer or am I reading this wrong?

NCAA women use that, but the only time Fed does is maybe on a fast break and the trail is not in position to see the 3 or not! I would have to say it's false also!

I agree with jritchie...However, could I beg of you where I could find this NFHS 3 Officials Mechanics Examination?

My question is, "Since when did the NF make a Mechanics test for basketball?"

For the 2-man system, the question is true.

This is the womens mechanic in NCAA, it may have been the old FED mechanic about 5 years ago? of course I may be crazy.

Wisconsin has had a 3-person Mechanics test for the last 3 years. It's a NFHS produced test. 100 questions, just like Test I and Test II.

I was in the state office (MHSAA(Michigan High school Athletic Association)) yesterday to pick up some more patches for my shirts and there was a stack sitting on the counter and asked if I could have one.

The only mechanics tests I have ever seen were from football. We used to take the football version of the test for promotion purposes. Our state scratched that test a couple of years ago. I was not aware of a basketball test.

Which takes me to 7 tests I have to mail in every year. It always feels like I'm working one of these things

[jritchie]

Could anyone scan one and get us a copy, might be some good topics for discussion?

[Ref3]

Of the 100 questions, about 30 are related to mechanics. The other 70 are general basketball questions that are so easy, you don't even open the book to answer correctly.

Ref3 -

Can you tell me why there is a Part I and II test? I've called in NY, NC and GA and I have only had to take 1 test (I believe it was Part II). Now I'm in OK and I have to take Parts I and II. How are the tests different? Thanks.
