A-1 has the ball out of bounds for a throw-in.Before releasing the ball, the thrower (A-1) loses her balance, reaches out and touches B-1, who is inbounds guarding the throw.A-1 does NOT step across the sideline ... and regains her balance and successfully completes the throw-in to A-2.How should the official rule on this play?? Select ALL that apply here.
Correct Answer(s)
C. Throw-in violation on A-1.
D. If contact on B1 was illegal (and not incidental) a personal foul should be ruled.
Explanation
Throw-in violation by A1. A1 is required to remain out of bounds until releasing the throw-in pass. When A1 touches an inbounds player, he/she now has inbound status. However, if the contact on B1 is illegal, a personal foul should be called. COMMENT: A throw-in violation must be called in order to maintain the balance
between offense and defense. (2-3; 9-2-1; 9-2-5)

Correct Answer(s)
A. The official should issue Team B a warning for delay.
D. The throw-in has not ended.
E. Team A is permitted to complete the A-P throw-in.
F. Any further delay by Team B should result in a Team Technical Foul.
Explanation

Any type of further delay by Team B results in a team technical foul. (4-42-5; 4-47-1; 6-4-4; 7-6-

A1 is injured and bench personnel are beckoned onto the court. Once A1 has been removed from the court, the official notifies the Team A coach that a replacement is required. The official then instructs the timer to begin the 20-second replacement interval because a substitute is not made available immediately. Team A’s head coach then requests a time-out to keep A1 in the game. Should the official grant this time-out??
Correct Answer
B. No - this is not permitted.
Explanation
No this is an incorrect procedure. The time-out request must be made when the official informs the coach that a replacement is required. Once the 20-second interval has begun and A1’s replacement is pending, a time-out shall not be granted. Once A1 is replaced by a substitute, Team A may
request and be granted a time-out, if desired. (2-12-5 Note; 3-3-6; 5-8-3b)

Same situation as the previous question ... however, this time the player is being removed for a bloody nose.The official then instructs the timer to begin the 20-second replacement interval because a substitute is not made available immediately for the bleeding player.The training staff stops the bleeding prior to the expiration of the 20-second interval and the coach request a time-out to keep the player in the game.The official applies the "blood rule" to keep the player in the game and grants the time-out. Is the official correct.
Correct Answer
B. No, the request must be made when the coach is informed a replacement is needed.
Explanation
The time-out request must be made when the official informs the coach that a replacement is required. Once the 20-second interval has begun and A1’s replacement is pending, a time-out shall
not be granted. Once A1 is replaced by a substitute, Team A may request and be granted a time-out, if desired. (2-

During rebounding, contact on a player's back that dislodges them from their spot on the floor, or where they jumped from should be ruled:

After previously being warned, A-1 has been DIRECTED to leave the game because the jersey is not tucked properly into his game pants. The coach questions this ruling as being "nit-picking."
Check ALL that apply.
Correct Answer(s)
C. The official should instruct the time to begin the 20 second replacement interval timer.
D. Team A may not request a time out until after A-1 is substituted for.
F. Team A's coach risks a technical foul if his questioning becomes un-sportsmanlike.
Explanation
Once a player has been directed to leave the game, they must comply. A team may not be granted a time-out to keep a player in the game for this type of situation until the player is substituted for properly. Anytime a coach questions an official in an un-sportsmanlike manner, they risk a technical foul. (3-3-5)
