Basketball Placement Advanced Level - Quiz

Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    Which move is legal?

    • Three people defend one person with the ball

    • The team on offense defends the team on defense

    • Two people defend one person with the ball

    • A player dribbles out of bounds and keeps the ball

    • Dedrsh

    Correct Answer
    A. Two people defend one person with the ball
    Explanation
    Two people defending one person with the ball is a legal move in basketball. In basketball, the defense is allowed to double-team or trap the player with the ball, meaning two defenders can guard one offensive player. This strategy is commonly used to put pressure on the ball handler and force turnovers. Therefore, the answer "Two people defend one person with the ball" is correct.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    "halfcourt press" means you can ______ the ball from another player.

    Correct Answer
    steal
    Explanation
    In basketball, a "halfcourt press" is a defensive strategy where the defending team applies pressure on the opposing team in their half of the court. This strategy is often used to disrupt the opposing team's offense and force turnovers. One way to accomplish this is by "stealing" the ball from another player, meaning to take possession of the ball illegally from an opponent. Therefore, the correct answer is "steal".

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    A player catches a rebound off the rim from the opposing team. They then shoot without dribbling or moving. They are standing in front of the free throw line. This is _____________.

    • Legal because there is no one defending them

    • Legal because the player caught the ball

    • Illegal because they didn't move before shooting

    • Illegal because they never said if it missed or made it

    Correct Answer
    A. Illegal because they didn't move before shooting
    Explanation
    According to the rules of basketball, after catching a rebound, the player must either dribble or move before shooting. In this scenario, the player did not dribble or move before taking the shot, making it illegal. The fact that there is no one defending them does not affect the legality of the play.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What level are you currently training at?

    • Basic ( A1 THROUGH A4)

    • Middle ( A5 THROUGH B3)

    • Pro/advanced ( B4 OR B5)

    Explanation
    The given correct answer is "middle (A5 THROUGH B3)". This suggests that the person is currently training at a level that is beyond the basic level (A1 through A4) but not yet at the pro/advanced level (B4 or B5). The middle level implies that the person has progressed in their training and has acquired a certain level of proficiency in the language, but still has room for improvement before reaching the highest level of proficiency.
