Live ball dead ball question

[kzooref]

My partners and I are having trouble with this question on a rules quiz. In which of the following situations do you have a live ball?

a) When a whistle sounds after the ball has been released on a try (whistle is not for a player control foul)
b) When a free thrower catches a ball from the administering official
c) After a basket and the official begins administering the 5 second count
d) All of the above are live ball

For a the rule book says it is a dead ball when the official's whistle is blown except while a tap or try is in flight so a appears live. For b it does not mention it specifically in the rule book but it does mention a ball becomes dead when a FT is made or when it is apparent it will be missed when it is to be followed by a throw in or another FT. So that leads me to believe b is live. For C a ball becomes live when at disposal of thrower. So I would say all of the above.

NFHS rules 6-1-2 and 6-7EXCEPTION(a) answers all questions.

Also try 6-7-5, read the Exceptions

The question on that test that really begs analysis is the one about the player with a red jersey and green undershirt. As a taker of this particular test, any opinion of that one?

[Freddy]

Check your private mail, could you?
Thanx.

Read the rule on disposal as well. 4-4-7

My opinion is that we should follow the applicable rule.

And that's the only valid opinion on that particular question.

How much analysis does that really need???

Well, if it's a Christmas tournament...

Sorry for the cryptic reply.
It was a question on a state test which offered no correct answer, as far as I could discern, and I was hoping he'd offer it as a response or new thread.

How could there not be a correct answer to such a fairly basic question like that one?

Well, since nobody has given the analysis, here goes. By rule, the situation you describe cannot exist. A player is one of the 5 team members legally participating in the game. Since the question says the team member is wearing a red jersey and green undershirt, that person is not allowed to become a player. In order to participate in the game, the team member must remove the green undershirt. If s/he wishes to wear an undershirt it must be similar in color to the game jersey (i.e., red).

This is not a situation where the team member is allowed to participate at the expense of a technical foul.

AND -- s/he better leave the visual confines of the court to take off the undershirt.

Hmmm. What if they are able to remove the undershirt without removing the jersey?

You know, as soon as I hit "submit", I knew somebody was going to ask that. That would legal.
