Part 1 Test

91....91????? WootWootWootWoooooowaitaminute....I got 9 wrong? Inconceivable!

Here's hoping Tanner changes it to a 92 after he reads his email.

Alright, Coach appealed one of the questions. In a close vote, the appeal was overturned.

Officially, Coach got a 92 - again, nice job!

The answer in question was "False and true...".

So, if that happens in a game, what's the mechanic?

Easy, I grab my rule book outta my briefcase and appeal.
Then the official gives me the time out signal/mechanic.


What's the mechanic if a jumper touches the ball a second time after tapping it once?

Play on.

6-3-7d

Neither jumper shall:
d. Touch the ball more than twice.

The jump ball hasn't ended yet.

6-3-8
The jump ball and the restrictions in 6-3-7 end when the touched ball contacts one of the either nonjumpers, an official, the floor, a basket or backboard.

I'm hoping you mean more than twice, as touching it twice is not a violation?

Actually, there is no set mechanic for this violation. The official with the call should step in with their hand up, palm open (to signal the violation), and perhaps verbalize the reason for the violation. I suppose to better communicate the violation, one might signal two "tips" (like the foul tip signal in baseball), but purists would say since there is no approved signal, don't give one. It is similar to the FT violation where the shooter does not hit the rim - there is no set mechanic or signal, but many officials use the "swirly" signal.

Dang, there we go with those "wordings" that thru me off.
If I get moderated for spewing out a test question so be it.

true or false?
A jumpball ends when the tapped ball touches a jumper a second time.
I answered False, but I confess, I false multiple fouled myself.

I answered False because I read the rule wrong and then told Tanner that it "could" be True because the jump ball would 'technically" end on the violation that the jumper touched it twice. But since that is NOT a violation.....I was wrong again

So basically, I got the right answer but for the wrong reason. Two wrongs DO make a right.

And I'm sticking with my 92.

Actually, we don't mind discussing individual questions, even if they are from the current test. What raises some hackles (and I don't know if I've ever actually seen a raised hackle) is simply posting all the answers.

Well, I'm sure some of us would argue for a 91.5, but that's for higher powers to decide.

So, if you open up that book (instead of just waving it at the officials during the game ), you'll see the statement you need for this question right after 6-3-7d.
