#39. A free throw by A1 ends when the ball is in flight and A2 backs straight out of his/her marked lane space.

For me this seemed obviously True. However I overheard some veteran comments about lane spaces being as deep as the crap going on in the integrity thread discussion.... well as deep as the player wanted. And that the aswer should be False.

I still think true is the correct answer. Referencing rules 1-5-2 and 9-1-9 lane spaces are 36 inches deep. If you leave your lane space before the ball hits the rim you have violated. If you are on the offensive/shooting team, dead ball, no shot.

What does anyone else think?

I guess my answer would be false! You can back out only 3 feet. you can not back out all the way to the OOB line.
Just my thought!

True
 

DTTB,

The answer is true. They cannot leave the space until the restrictions end. There is a casebook play that covers this. Or at the very least it used to. I will get back to you on this.

Peace

from what you said, I think you mean true, right..

OOOPPPSSSS-
Yes that is correct...TRUE...Read it right....reversed it in my mind....

Those NFHS test have a way of muddling a man's mind.

DownTownTonyBrown-

What Test? I forgot! True, No False...I mean! Yes, No, Well Maybe

What. . . is your favorite color?

Green, no wait, blue!!! AAAAAaaaaaaauuuuuuuuggghhhhh!

So,if you answered "True",then that would be false-and if you answered "False",that would then be true?

I think I got it now!

We had discussion about this one too. If he backs OUT of the lane space, he has violated.

How about #99?

It is a violation if, in A's FC, A1 passes to A2 but A2 fumbles the ball into A's BC where it remains untouched for 10 seconds.

Ture or False?

True-about every 10 years they put that mutha on.

So far, I've only found two people who answered True, myself and my crew chief. Everyone else here seems to have missed it.

A better question might be "what visual count should you start when the ball goes into Team A's backcourt off of a Team A player after Team A had possession in their frontcourt?".That might make a few heads explode.

Btw,anyone that tells me that they've started a visual 10 second count in this circumstance is lying like a rug!:D

Notice that that question tells you that the player left the marked lane space. It says he backed OUT of it. So it is a violation, the ball is immediately dead, and since a free throw ends when the ball becomes dead, A1's free throw has ended.

Question from a few years back. Can the home team jersy be light blue?
