Rectal Exam ???
Quote:
In my opinion, you're giving the NFHS, and in my case, IAABO, too much credit. I just think that they don't know how to construct a fair exam. Put an experienced high school teacher, maybe an English teacher, who's a veteran official, on the exam committee, and I'm sure that we'd get a much better test. The exam committee also needs a better editor, one who can fact check, and correct errors. Whatever happened to the concept of proofreading? If I was the chair of a committee that was responsible for distributing exams to thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of officials, I would certainly have the exam proofread several times before publication.

And I agree with the fact that questions like this, causes us to overthink the question and could most likely cause us to miss such a simple question. And yes the stakes are high if the test given in your state or association can qualify or disqualify you from participating in post season or championship games. Personally, I have a full understanding of when a sub becomes a player or a player becomes bench personnel. As well as when the ball is live or dead. Imo this, is somewhat of a tricky question that I have seen before and really dislike seeing simply because of one word ----- after vs. when!! We all read questions that will immediately refer us back to the rule book because something about that question either does not sound right or maybe the wording of the question is different than what we remember. And that is what prompted my initial post. The wording of that question was different than what is printed in the rule book!! |

Nope, I cringed.
There's a lot of that going around, I hear. Last edited by Jurassic Referee; Sat Oct 30, 2010 at 02:33pm. |

I would, but there certainly have been questions on either (or both) the basektball or baseball tests where the "correct" answer hinged on one word (and where that word differnce had no practical difference in officiating)
