Thumbs up Got it.

I was working through the test and got stuck on #7. My brain works in an (often overly) literal way, so personally I would have liked the question to read "NOT always" or something to that effect.

But in any case, MTD, Sr. is correct. Specifically, rule 9-2-8 (& Penalty) illustrate the situation where having the ball lodge between the backboard and ring does not constitute an A/P throw-in.

Thanks for the help, and I'm sure I'll have another one for the group before this thing is all said and done.

BTW - I stand corrected: This test is the WOA (Washington Officials Association) State test.

It is the WOA test and at our meeting last week we received a revised copy of the question:

Which is NOT an Alternating Possession situation?
A. Held ball by 2 opposing players
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.
