BC CABO Exam 2015

The answer is "Yes" because according to the question, the dribble ends when the ball comes to rest in one or both hands, or touches both hands of the dribbler. Therefore, any of these actions would signal the end of the dribble.

The official is not correct. In basketball, a backcourt violation occurs when a team in possession of the ball crosses the half-court line and then returns the ball to the backcourt. However, in this scenario, A1 receives the pass from A2 while straddling the center line, which means he is still in the frontcourt. When A1 passes the ball back to A2, who is also in the backcourt, it does not constitute a backcourt violation. Therefore, the official's call is incorrect.

The official is not correct in calling a violation for the ball hitting the leg of A4. In basketball, it is not considered a violation if the ball accidentally hits a player's leg during a pass. As long as the ball was not intentionally kicked or used to gain an advantage, it is a legal play. Therefore, the official's call is incorrect in this situation.

The officials are not correct. According to the rules of basketball, if a player fumbles the ball and regains control of it, they are allowed to dribble again. Therefore, A1 should not have been called for an illegal dribble and the ball should not have been awarded to team B.

The 3-point line is not part of the two-point area. It is a separate boundary line that is located farther away from the basket. Shots made beyond the 3-point line are awarded 3 points, while shots made within the 2-point area, which includes the area inside the paint and mid-range, are awarded 2 points. Therefore, the 3-point line and the two-point area are distinct and separate from each other.

Yes, the official is correct. In basketball, once the ball crosses the half-court line, the offensive team cannot be the first to touch the ball in the backcourt. In this scenario, A1's front court throw-in was deflected by A2 into the backcourt, and A1 was the first to touch the ball in the backcourt. Therefore, it is considered a backcourt violation, and the official's ruling is correct.

Yes, the official is correct. According to the rules, if a shot is released before the game clock expires, it can still be counted as long as it goes in. In this case, even though time expired while the ball was in flight, the shot was successful, so the official made the correct call by counting the basket.

According to the rules, when a technical foul is called on a player, the opposing team is awarded one free throw. In this case, B1 has been charged with a technical foul, so Team A, being the opposing team, is entitled to attempt the resulting one free throw. Therefore, the answer is Yes.

No, a 3 second violation should not be called on A1. According to the given information, A5 is dribbling the ball in the backcourt, which means that the offensive team has not yet crossed the half-court line. Since A1 is in Team B's restricted area, which is in the frontcourt, the 3 second violation rule does not apply in this situation.

According to the rules of basketball, when the ball is tapped into the backcourt by the defense, the shot clock should reset to 24 seconds. However, in this scenario, the shot clock is reset to 14 seconds after the timeout. This is incorrect and therefore the answer is no.

Yes, the official is correct. According to the rules, each team is allowed a maximum of three timeouts in the second half of a game. In this scenario, Coach A had already used two timeouts before requesting another one with 2:09 on the game clock. Therefore, when the ball went out of bounds and Team A was granted a timeout, it was their third and final timeout of the period. The official correctly informed Coach A that his team only had one timeout remaining.

The answer is No because according to the rules, defender B4 is not required to allow sufficient room for A4 to turn or pivot while guarding them. The defender is allowed to closely guard the offensive player and try to prevent them from making any moves or scoring opportunities. Therefore, B4 can apply pressure and restrict A4's movements without violating any rules.

Team B should be granted a timeout before the resulting Team B throw-in. According to the given scenario, A2 was awarded a free throw and successfully made the final shot. However, before the resulting throw-in for Team B, Team B requested a timeout. This implies that Team B has the right to call a timeout, even after A2's successful free throw. Therefore, the correct answer is "Yes."

Yes, the resulting Team B throw-in shall be administered in the front court at the throw-in line opposite the Scorer's table. This is because after a 3-second violation, the opposing team is granted a throw-in at the throw-in line opposite the Scorer's table in the front court.

The official is not correct. According to the rules, a defender is allowed to establish a legal guarding position and move backward as long as they maintain that position. In this scenario, B4 has established a legal guarding position in front of A4 and is moving backward. Therefore, the contact made by A4 should not be considered a foul on B4.

The official should grant the second timeout requested by Coach A. In most sports, teams are typically allowed a certain number of timeouts during a game, and it is up to the coach to decide when to use them. As long as Coach A has timeouts remaining, the official should grant the request.

The official is not correct. When a player loses their balance and falls to the floor while holding the ball, it is not considered a traveling violation. According to the rules of basketball, a player who falls to the floor while holding the ball is allowed to pass, shoot, or call a timeout without being penalized for traveling. Therefore, the official's call of a traveling violation in this situation is incorrect.

No, the official should not initiate a 5-second closely guarded count. The reason is that B1 is not actively guarding A1. In order for a closely guarded count to be initiated, the defender must actively guard the offensive player, meaning they are in close proximity and actively attempting to prevent them from making a move. Since B1 is not actively guarding A1, there is no need for a closely guarded count.

No, two points should not be awarded to Team A for basket interference. According to the rules of basketball, basket interference occurs when a defensive player touches the ball while it is in the cylinder above the rim. In this case, the ball hit the ring and bounced directly above it, which means it was not in the cylinder. Therefore, there was no interference and Team A should not be awarded any points.

The assistant coach of Team B has requested a time-out, indicating that they have a need for a break or to discuss strategies with their team. Therefore, it is reasonable to grant Team B's time-out at the next opportunity.

No, the official is not correct. According to the rules of basketball, when a player catches the ball while airborne from the front court and lands in the back court, it is considered a backcourt violation. Therefore, the play should be ruled as illegal.

The official is correct in calling a traveling violation because according to the rules of basketball, a player must establish a pivot foot and cannot lift it before starting a dribble. Once the pivot foot is lifted, it is considered a traveling violation. Therefore, A1's action of lifting his pivot foot before releasing the ball constitutes a traveling violation, making the official's call correct.

No, team A does not lose their right to the next alternating possession. The question states that A1 has the ball out of bounds and A2 is called for an illegal screen. Losing the right to the next alternating possession would typically occur if team A committed a turnover or violation, but in this scenario, it is A2 who is called for the foul. Therefore, team A retains their right to the next alternating possession.

The officials are not correct. In basketball, stepping into the restricted area early as a defensive player during a free throw is a violation, but it does not result in a double violation. On the other hand, if the shooter steps over the free throw line after releasing the ball but before it hits the ring, it is also a violation called a lane violation. In this case, the officials should have called a lane violation on shooter A1, not a double violation. Therefore, the officials made an incorrect call.

The officials are not correct. According to the basketball rules, receiving a technical foul and an unsportsmanlike foul does not result in automatic disqualification unless it is the player's second unsportsmanlike foul. Therefore, player A1 should not be disqualified as a result of these two fouls.

The official is not correct. According to the rules, if two players from opposing teams are holding the ball simultaneously, it is considered a jump ball and a jump ball situation results in a jump ball throw-in. The violation should not have been called on A3 and team B should not have been awarded a throw-in.

Yes, the shot clock should be reset to 14 seconds when play resumes. According to the rules of basketball, when play is stopped due to an injury or any other reason with less than 14 seconds on the shot clock, the shot clock is reset to 14 seconds. This ensures that the offensive team has a fair opportunity to attempt a shot within a reasonable amount of time.

No, this is not correct. According to the rules of basketball, when the ball hits the rim, the shot clock should reset to 14 seconds, regardless of which team gains control of the ball. Therefore, in this scenario, the shot clock operator should have reset the shot clock to 14 seconds after A2 gained control of the ball.

No, A-1 shall not be permitted to pivot. According to the rules of basketball, a player who catches the ball while one foot is on the floor and then jumps off that foot and lands on both feet simultaneously is considered to have established a pivot foot. Once a player has established a pivot foot, they are not allowed to lift that foot off the floor and pivot. Therefore, A-1 should not be permitted to pivot in this situation.

The officials are not correct. According to the rules, a substitute who has reported to the table is allowed to enter the playing court after a timeout, even if they were not specifically beckoned onto the court by the officials. Therefore, the officials should have allowed the substitution to take place.

The official is correct. According to the rules, once the ball is thrown from the backcourt to the frontcourt, it cannot be legally batted back to the backcourt by a player who is in the frontcourt. By doing so, B1 has committed a violation. Therefore, A1 catching the ball and the official starting a new 8 second count is the correct decision.

The official is not correct in this situation. According to the rules, if the shot clock is erroneously reset, the official should continue the count from where it was when the error occurred. In this case, the official should have continued the count from 5 seconds instead of resetting it to 8 seconds. Therefore, the official made an incorrect decision.

Yes, Team A shall be awarded a throw-in at the nearest spot to where the double fouls occurred. This is because when a double foul is committed, the game is resumed with a throw-in from the nearest spot where the fouls occurred. In this case, the fouls occurred in Team A's frontcourt, so Team A will be awarded a throw-in at the nearest spot in their frontcourt.

Yes, A1's request to stay in the game should be granted. Since A1 was injured and the game was stopped, it is assumed that the injury has been assessed and deemed not severe enough to prevent A1 from continuing to play. Additionally, A1's request indicates that they feel capable of continuing, so it is appropriate to allow them to stay in the game.

In basketball, when the ball goes out of bounds, it is considered out of play. However, if a player jumps from the playing court and catches the ball before it completely crosses the boundary line, the ball is still considered in play. In this scenario, B1 jumps over the boundary line and catches the ball, keeping it in play. Therefore, the shot clock is reset and it is correct.

No, A12 shall not be allowed entry at this time. According to the rules, a substitute may only enter the game during a dead ball situation before the ball is put into play. In this scenario, the ball became dead after the first free throw, but A2 was assessed a technical foul, which means the ball is not dead and the game is still in play. Therefore, A12 cannot enter the game at this time.

The official is not correct. In basketball, a player is allowed to jump and shoot for a field goal, and if the shot is blocked by the opponent, it is not considered a travel. In this scenario, both players returned to the floor with one hand firmly on the ball, which indicates that A1 did not gain an advantage by taking more than two steps without dribbling. Therefore, the official's call of a traveling violation against A1 is incorrect.

The correct answer is No because based on the given scenario, B1's action of contacting A1's arm from behind in an attempt to block the shot does not meet the criteria for an unsportsmanlike foul. An unsportsmanlike foul typically involves excessive or unnecessary contact that is not a legitimate basketball play. In this case, B1's action can be considered a legitimate attempt to block the shot, therefore it should not be called as an unsportsmanlike foul.

The officials are not correct in not letting the player play because they are wearing a shoulder brace with protective padding. Wearing a brace is often necessary for players who have previous injuries or are recovering from them. The protective padding ensures that the brace doesn't pose a risk to the player or other players on the court. As long as the brace and padding meet the safety regulations set by the league or organization, the player should be allowed to play.

Yes, the ensuing interval of play begins once the free throws have been completed. In basketball, when a player is fouled during a shooting action and is awarded free throws, the clock is stopped and the player takes the free throws. Once the free throws are completed, the game resumes with the ensuing interval of play. Therefore, in this scenario, the interval of play would begin once A1 has taken their two free throws.

The official is not correct. According to the given scenario, A4 was assessed a technical foul and the coach requested a substitution. However, before A6 could enter the game, A4 verbally argued with the official. The official then charged A4 with a 2nd technical foul and disqualified him for the rest of the game. This is not correct because once the coach requested a substitution, A4 should have been removed from the game and A6 should have entered. The verbal argument should not have resulted in a second technical foul and disqualification.

According to the given scenario, B2's action of hitting the backboard did not affect the flight of the ball. Therefore, the official's decision to allow the play to continue is permissible by rule.

Yes, the officials are correct. In basketball, offensive players are not allowed to set screens that impede the movement of defenders. In this scenario, player A1 set a screen directly behind player B1, which obstructed B1's movement and caused contact. Even though A1 had his feet set and was in his cylinder, the officials correctly called a team control foul on A1 for setting an illegal screen.

The official is not correct. According to the rules, both B1 and A2 entered the lane before the free throw was released, which is a violation. Therefore, both players should have been penalized, not just the first violation.

The official is correct because in basketball, an unsportsmanlike foul committed by the defender does not negate the basket made by the offensive player. The offensive player's technical foul for using profanity does not affect the scoring of the basket either. Therefore, the foul penalties cancel each other out and the basket is counted.

No, the goal should not count. According to basketball rules, if a player commits a foul while the shooter is in the act of shooting, the shot will not count if the foul is called before the ball is released. In this scenario, A2 fouled B4 before the ball was released, so the goal should not count.

The official is correct in calling a double dribble. According to the rules of basketball, once a player has come to a stop and then dribbles the ball again, it is considered a double dribble. In this scenario, A2 comes to a stop and attempts a pass, but then picks up the ball again without another player touching it. This action violates the rule and results in a double dribble. Therefore, the official's call is correct.

Yes, this is correct. According to the rules of basketball, if a player releases the ball from the 3-point area and it is touched by an offensive player within the 2-point area, the points awarded are based on the original shot attempt. In this case, since the shot was taken from the 3-point area, Team A is credited with 3 points even though the ball was touched by a player within the 2-point area.

The official is not correct. According to the given information, the ball is bouncing directly above the ring when B1 touches the ring. This indicates that B1 did not interfere with the ball's trajectory or prevent it from going into the basket. Therefore, the official's ruling of basket interference is incorrect in this scenario.

The official is not correct. According to the rules, when a player is called for a disqualifying foul and must leave the game and the gym, they are no longer considered a player and their actions should not result in a technical foul for the coach. The coach should not be penalized for the verbal insult made by a player who is already disqualified.
