Misunderstand Rules

[Mark Padgett]

On the same topic, here's the rules test I give to our coaches in our local kids rec league. All rules are NF.

Answer true or false to each question. All questions pertain to standard High School rules. In all questions, team A is on offense and team B is on defense.
_____ 1) A1 passes to A2 who does not catch the ball cleanly. The ball hits his hands and then it drops to the floor. A2 then grabs the ball and begins to dribble. This is a violation on A2.
_____ 2) A1 is inbounding in his front court. He inbounds to A2 who is also in frontcourt. The inbound pass hits A2 in the hand, deflects into backcourt where it is first touched by A2. This is a violation on A2.
_____ 3) A1 is dribbling in the backcourt. As he approaches half-court line, he dribbles the ball once in the frontcourt and steps into the frontcourt with one foot. He then touches that same foot in the backcourt. This is a violation on A1.
_____ 4) A1 dives for a loose ball and while on the floor, grabs the ball with both hands. His momentum causes him to roll over twice. This is a violation on A1.
_____ 5) A1 attempts to shoot a jump shot. B1 blocks the shot by putting his hand directly on the ball. A1 is unable to release the shot and returns to the floor holding the ball by himself. This is a violation on A1.
_____ 6) A1 shoots toward his basket. The ball misses and does not hit either the rim or the backboard. Before the ball hits the floor, it is caught by A1. This is a violation on A1.
_____ 7) Team A has used all its timeouts. During a dead ball, A1 requests a timeout. Team A is not allowed this timeout.
_____8) A1 is fouled and appears to be injured. The official beckons Coach A onto the court to attend to A1. However, before the coach can come onto the floor, A1 gets up and says he can continue. A1 is allowed to stay in the game at that point.
_____9) A1 is dribbling the ball. B1 goes up to A1 and, while making an attempt to play the ball, he pushes A1 off the court and into the bleachers. This is a common personal foul on B1.
_____10) A1 is wearing a gold stud earring during warm-ups. Before entering the game, the earring is covered with athletic tape. The game officials declare A1 is legally equipped and can participate in the contest.
_____11) A1 is dribbling the ball in his backcourt following a throw-in. The official reaches seven seconds in his ten second count. A1 requests and is granted a timeout. When Team A inbounds following the timeout, they will have three seconds to get the ball into frontcourt.
_____12) Player B2 is using a wristband that is placed above the elbow on the upper arm. The player is legally equipped and may participate in the contest.
_____ 13) Following a made basket by Team B, A1 will inbound on the endline. Prior to throwing the ball in, A1 asks for a timeout and it is granted. When Team A comes back to inbound the ball, they have lost the right to run the endline on the inbound play and there will be a spot throw-in instead.
_____ 14) While shooting a two-point shot, A1 is intentionally fouled by B1. The shot goes in the basket. The basket counts and A1 will be awarded one free throw, then Team A will get possession of the ball for a throw-in.
_____ 15) A1 attempts a shot. Prior to his leaving the floor, B1 establishes and maintains legal guarding position. A1 releases the ball toward the basket, then falls on B1. The shot goes in the basket. The basket counts and A1 is charged with an offensive foul.
_____ 16) During the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, immediately following a basket by A1, Team B requests and is granted a timeout. After the timeout, Team B may, at their option, inbound at the midcourt line.
_____ 17) A1 is standing in the frontcourt with his feet inside the lane. After two seconds, A2 takes a shot and the ball rebounds to A3. Two seconds later, A3 takes a shot. A1 has been in the lane a total of 4 seconds. This is a violation on Team A.
_____ 18) A1 shoots from the deep corner. The ball hits the side of the backboard. The official should immediately whistle a violation.
_____ 19) A1 is dribbling the ball. The ball bounces high and he dribbles once with his hand higher than his shoulder. This is a violation on A1.
_____ 20) Following a violation by Team B, A1 is inbounding on a spot throw-in. While holding the ball, he begins to pivot on his left foot. He takes a step backwards then pivots on his right foot. This is a violation on A1.

You're new here, aren't you?

Although I haven't read all of these questions, if you use the forum search function to search for other posts about Mark's infamous quizzes, you'll find something very interesting. . .

(There might even be related posts at the bottom of the page.)

This has always been the long standing policy of the Forum, not to post answers to an entire test. However, Forum members will respond to individual questions. Listen to Mark Padgett. He is not giving you all false information.

[BillyMac]

Any suggestions? I'd like to put this to bed before the new rules come out in a couple of weeks.

Why is this question false?

The implication is that he actually pushes A1 with both hands so it should be either an intentional foul or a flagrant foul. I probably should word this differently to give that impression. I can see that it could be taken as just a common foul the way it stands. Thanks.
