B. Ball lodges between backboard and rim
C. B1 and A2, who are both in one of the marked lane spaces, come into the lane while free throw try is the air and B1 enters first.
D. Officials cannot decide possession on out of bounds

I copied the question and answers exactly...so don't kill me for the outstandingly poor writing of the new option C. This new version of the question is now part of the online exam.
Well, at least one of those is clearly the right answer now since it is never an AP.

Also known as the "wedgie" rule.

This is a poorly worded question as there are two potentially correct answers.

I think I had that question but I could swear the choice including lodging between the rim and the backboard included "throwin" somewhere in the answer.

That would make "B" the only always correct answer; and another one would be sometimes correct.

Same here. Maybe it's a VA thing!

Couldn't (D) also be correct, if the out of bounds occurred during a jump ball before possession was established?

Okay, let's agree. The question sucks.
