Fact Checkers Needed ...

OK, but the answer would still be "no" even if you used a correct phrase like "the ball location when the violation occurred".

By using the wrong phrase in the question, you may be unintentionally promoting incorrect use of the phrase elsewhere.

It's a true or false question. Without some wrong phrases, they would all be true.

Then in the answer, point out the incorrect use of the phrase.

Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine, and I hear officials use "point of interruption" incorrectly all the time. If the incorrect phrase is part of the question, correct it in the answer.

Just my 2 cents.

The answer doesn't include the part that made the play incorrect. Isn't that sorta the same thing?

BM -

Did you think of using the rule reference for each of these questions.....Rule 4, Section 14.......etc....


This may help the newbie's get in the book....


Later bro...

Billy, thanks for this. If you don't mind, I'd like to use this concept at an association meeting.

As an assessment, it focuses all the errors on one issue: correct placement of the throw-in. How about awarding just one FT after the intentional foul on a made basket? Or failing to call a BC violation because B interrupted A's dribble initially but prior to events sufficient for the violation?

Too many questions devoted to fixing the same problem. Even if that's the most common issue in your area, take advantage of having folks' eyeballs to educate them on other aspects of the rules, basic to advanced. How many officials can clearly articulate the criteria for BI, for example?
