After testing period is over, we VA officials get a complete rundown of the results with rules references for incorrect answers. Its there for review, if you care to look.

i have been trying to find every question in the book, but there are a few that 1. I can't find and 2. are maybe over thinking. The wording doesn't help in some instances. I am making myself crazy!

Other than the question about the size of the bench area, I found the others to be reasonably straightforward.

Help (although maybe not direct answers) is available.

I think I am probably over thinking this one:

A1, while in possession of the ball, begins her try. During A1 try and before the ball is released, B2 illegally pushes through A2's screen to defend A1 and is whistled for a foul. A1 continues her try and the ball enters the basket.

a.The goal is cancelled and A1 is awarded two free throws.
b.The goal is scored and A2 is awarded a one-and-one bonus.
c.The goal is cancelled and A2 is awarded a one-and-one bonus.
d.The goal is scored and A1 is awarded one free throw.

I have ruled out b & c because nowhere in the question does it state that team A is in the bonus. Also, while it states that B2 illegally pushes through the screen of A2, it also states she is defending A1 and called for foul- to me I think that she fouls A1 while in the act of shooting--- so the goal shall count and should get 1 free throw....

my thought process correct??

Defending A1 is not a foul. The illegal act seems to be B2 pushing through the screen by A2. Thus, B2 has fouled A2, not A1.

Process of elimination leads me to answer (b) as the best choice.

You're misreading it. B2 fouled A2. "B2 ILLEGALLY PUSHES through A2's screen".

Select the best answer.

Select the best answer.

That was my first thought on this-- but where the choices involving A2 getting fouled only state a one-and-one situation and no mention of BONUS being in effect, I am thrown off. I didn't want to assume.

Also look at rule 4-11 "Continuous motion". May also help to eliminate a couple of answers.

Too much "Team A shall not ever fail to prevent not moving into or away from an area not proscribed by an arc no wider than not the distance between his (obligatory ambiguous pronoun) pivot foot and non-pivot feet without failing to prevent moving into said area, unless he does not first fail to dribble and/or fail to dribble the ball between said movements," for ya?
