NFHS...couple of questions
 
Hello all,

Just finishing the NFHS Part 1 exam and have a couple of questions. Have to say that going through this really makes you think and gets your mind back into the game!

"When moving to maintain legal position, the guard must have both feet on the playing court and continue facting the opponent" I answered false because the player does not need to continue facing the opponent...correct?

"When guarding a moving opponent without the ball, the guard must give the opponent time and distance to avoid contact" I am not sure here because the rules book states "must give opponent time and/or distance", so since the 'or' is missing, does that make this false? I still am inclined to answer true to this question but because the 'or' is missing I am wondering if I should change my answer to false.

All suggestions are welcomed.

Cheers!

False, the guard doesn't even have to have both feet on the floor

I would answer this one true. I think you are looking into the question too much on this one

I guess it's quite difficult for the guard to move having both feet on the floor.;)

Once legal guarding position is establish the defender may move to maintain position but may not move into the offensive player to create contact.

The second one, I agree. Don't read too much into it.

True or False?

When guarding a moving opponent with the ball, the defender does not have to give the opponent time and/or distance to avoid contact.

4-23: Guarding an opponent with the ball or a stationary opponent without the ball: a. No time or distance is required to obtain an initial legal position.

2009-10 Point of Emphasis, Block/Charge: Points to remember when a defender is guarding a player with the ball: 1) Time and distance are of no consequence. If the defender gets to the spot first and is in a legal guarding position, the onus is on the person with the ball.
