A player enters the court wearing a brace on their shoulder with protective padding covering it. The officials do not let the player play as a result of wearing the brace. Are the officials correct?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
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.Rate this question:

During a free throw, defensive player B1 steps into the restricted area early. Shooter A1 steps over the free throw line after releasing the ball but before it hits the ring.

- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
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.Rate this question:

No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
The officials are not correct.

B1 is within one metre of A1 who is holding the ball. B1 is not actively guarding A1. Should the official initiate a 5 second closely guarded count?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
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.Rate this question:

- A.
Yes
- B.

- A.
Yes
- B.

- A.
Yes
- B.

- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
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.

- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
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.

- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
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.

- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
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.

As the timeout ends, the official advises Coach A that his team has only one timeout remaining in the period. Is the official correct?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
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.

- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
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.Rate this question:

- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
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.

Defender B1 commits an unsportsmanlike foul against shooter A1 during a successful field goal attempt. A1 is then charged with a technical foul for directing profanity towards B1. The official counts the basket and rules that the foul penalties cancel each other. Is the official correct?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
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.Rate this question:

A1, while moving quickly, receives a pass with one foot on the floor. In a continuous motion A-1 jumps off that foot and lands on both feet simultaneously. Shall A-1 be permitted to pivot?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Team A has been in control of the ball for 15 seconds. A1 tries to pass the ball to A2 near the front court end line and the ball moves across the boundary line. B1 jumps from the playing court over the boundary line and catches the ball with both hands and passes the ball to the playing court where it is caught by A2. The shot clock is reset when B1 catches the ball. Is this correct?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
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.Rate this question:

A1 steals a pass by B1 near the centerline and A1 has no defenders in front of him as he is dribbling to the opponent’s basket. Finishing his fast break A1 starts his act of shooting when B1 contacts his arm from behind in an attempt to block the shot. Officials call an unsportsmanlike foul on B1. Is this correct?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
B. NoExplanation
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.Rate this question:
