What was the exact question? Sometimes the test makers add things that make the answer false. The answer to #53 above is true.

Successive time-out?
 

successive time-outs shall not be granted at any time? false? because successive time-outs may be granted in all situations except after time has expired in the 4th quater or any extra period. Is this rule correct?

Are you saying that the exact same question appeared, in exactly the same wording, on the test for two years in a row, and had different answers? If so, one year was a mistake. If not, then check the exact wording difference to determine why the answers were different.

What do you all think about 55?

"A violation occurs when B1, in a marked space, loses his balance and touches inside the lane with both hands prior to A1's release of a free throw attempt."

True or False?

We all think that you should read the new editorial changes. ;)

Even the rules before the edit should lead to the same conclusion.

That's Why There Was An Editorial Change ...
 

Previously, there was some ambiguity here.

False....I hate trick questions...

:D

Although I see your point, it is still a violation, although it may be disregarded if the FT is good.

I can't get to this year's rule changes. The link I had this summer isn't working anymore, can somene post the link(s) please?

I thought you knew everything????? LOL!!!!

I do....but that's because I'm not afraid to ask questions. :cool:

Just make sure our meeting gets over in time so I can see the Vikings and Packers Monday.

77) Except for the first marked lane spaces that must be occupied by the defense during a free throw, players are permitted to occupy any vacant marked lane space within the numerical limits.

The offensive team can not be in a spot that is designated for the denfensive player correct?

The answer key say this is a true question

ART. 4 . . . During a free throw, lane spaces may be occupied as follows:
a. Marked lane spaces may be occupied by a maximum of four defensive and
two offensive players.
b. The lane areas from the end line up to, and including, the neutral-zone
marks, shall remain vacant.
c. The first marked lane spaces on each side of the lane, above and adjacent
to the neutral-zone marks, shall be occupied by opponents of the free
thrower. No teammate of the free thrower shall occupy either of these
marked lane spaces.
d. The second marked lane spaces on each side may be occupied by
teammates of the free thrower.
e. The third marked lane spaces on each side, nearest the free thrower, may
be occupied by the opponents of the free thrower.
f. Players shall be permitted to move along and across the lane to occupy a
vacant marked lane space within the limitations listed in this rule.
g. Not more than one player may occupy any part of a marked lane space.


Help.........

Only the first lane spaces are restricted to defense only. The last two spaces are for the defense if they want them, and the middle two are for the offense if they want them. If the preferred occupants decline to occupy those four spaces, the other team may take them if they desire.

Note the difference in wording between article 4c and the next two, 4d and 4e. 4c uses "shall" and the other two use "may."

Not only may the offense not use the the first spaces if the defense declines, the defense may not decline to use them.
