Newbies quiz
 
Here's a few questions my local kids rec league has on a test for first year officials (usually HS kids). NF rules.

1) A1 is standing inbounds in front count and makes a shot into the correct basket. No fouls or violations occurred, yet the basket does not count. Why?

2) During play, A1 punches B1 in the face, yet none of the officials calls a foul. Why?

3) Team A has three all of their timeouts remaining. During a dead ball, A1 requests a timeout but the official does not grant it. Why?

Rather mind boggling isn't it

Because the official violated the first rule of officiating and is distracted by the taste of his whistle?

I can't wait to see the answer for #2.

Team B was up by 2 points and time expired with the try in flight? ;-)

No advantage gained? ;-)

The basket would still count.

There is only one reason I can imagine not calling a punch, and this isn't it.

I suspect the answer is the same for all of these questions.

A: Because the official was not looking where he should have been.

Due to what's not said, I can see legitimate answers to 1 and 3 besides this one. This is the only one that makes sense on #2, though; unless he's defining "punch" differently than the rules do.

OK guys - here's the answers.

1) It occurred pre-game
2) You guessed it - they didn't see it
3) Similar - the official didn't hear it

The point is to get our newbies not to take any situation for granted. Also, we like tricking them. :p

A's coach called timeout before shot

2) During play, A1 punches B1 in the face, yet none of the officials calls a foul. Why?

Referee did not see it, can't call what you don't see

3) Team A has three all of their timeouts remaining. During a dead ball, A1 requests a timeout but the official does not grant it. Why?

Team B is up by 25 points with 5 seconds left and A took a beating all game. Referee wants game to end already!
see bolded and underline

EDIT: I'm not being serious for 1 and 3. This was just a joke.

My comments to that -

1) Coaches can't call timeouts
2) Duh
3) If any referee of ours disregarded the rules like you seem to promote doing, he or she would be fired

represent that :cool:
