Where does one find these tests? I'd love to try it.

Or do you have to log in as an official?

Coach - the tests are prepared by the National Federation, and are usually distributed through their member state and/or local associations. For example, in Illinois we receive our Part I test in the mail from the IHSA along with our rule and case books, and we have to finish it (open book) by Nov. 16 to retain our license. Officials going for promotion then have to take the Part II test on a certain date (closed book). Other states may use the tests differently. I would think if you asked a local association, or even an official you know, that they would be able to supply you with a copy of the test.

I don't know if you can log on to the NFHS site if you are a member and find a copy there; maybe someone else can chime in with that info?

Coach - here's the short test we're giving to the coaches in our local kids rec league this year. We use NF rules. See how you do on this. Answers are True or False. As you can tell, these were chosen as some of the most misunderstood especially by kids rec coaches.

1) ON AN INBOUND PLAY, IF THE INBOUNDER MOVES MORE THAN THREE FEET BACKWARDS BEFORE INBOUNDING, IT’S A VIOLATION
2) A PLAYER CANNOT BEGIN A LEGAL DRIBBLE BY PUSHING THE BALL TO THE FLOOR WITH BOTH HANDS
3) PLAYERS MAY PLAY WITH EARRINGS AS LONG AS THEY ARE COVERED TIGHTLY WITH MASKING TAPE
4) WHEN INBOUNDING IN THE FRONT COURT, IT IS A VIOLATION TO INBOUND THE BALL TO A PLAYER IN THE BACK COURT
5) IF A PLAYER DIVES FOR A LOOSE BALL, GRABS THE BALL AND HIS MOMENTUM CAUSES HIM TO SLIDE, IT IS A TRAVELING VIOLATION
6) IF AN INBOUNDER IS HOLDING THE BALL OUT OF BOUNDS AND A DEFENDER REACHES ACROSS THE LINE AND PUTS BOTH HANDS ON THE BALL, IT IS A HELD BALL
7) IF A PLAYER SHOOTS AN AIR BALL, THAT PLAYER CANNOT BE THE FIRST TO TOUCH THE BALL BEFORE IT COMES DOWN AND HITS THE FLOOR
8) IF A PLAYER IS HOLDING THE BALL AND A DEFENDER HITS THE BALL HANDLERS HAND CAUSING THE BALL TO BECOME LOOSE, IT IS A PERSONAL FOUL
9) IF A PLAYER REACHES OVER ANOTHER PLAYER’S BACK TO GRAB THE BALL, IT IS A PERSONAL FOUL
10) IF A PLAYER IS DRIBBLING AND BOUNCES THE BALL OFF THEIR FOOT, THEY CANNOT RUN AND RECOVER THE LOOSE BALL

Tricky Mark. I got false on 'em all.


And I just sent TJONES my answers...hope I did OK, kinda flew thru them here at work..and even worse....I only have an old 03-04 rule book here and no case book. They do try to get you guys on the "wordings" don't they?

Tjones, feel free to blurt out my score here...I view this site more than my AOL account at work.

Coach...

Nice job... you got a 91.

Yes, they certainly try to trip us up on the wordings.

He meant he got all ten of my questions as false, and that he sent his Part 1 NF test answers to tjones1 and he got a 91 on that. You have to follow the entire thread to understand what he meant.

I can't wait to see what my coaches get on the short test. They'll be taking it on Thursday night.
