CABO Exam: Basketball Questions Quiz

No, the shot clock should not be reset. In basketball, the shot clock is only reset when the offensive team gains possession of the ball after a missed shot or turnover. In this scenario, A1 loses control of the ball due to B1's tap, but A2 gains control of it. Since the ball remains in the possession of the offensive team, there is no need to reset the shot clock.

Both the Head Coach and the Assistant Coach are allowed to give verbal instructions to their players on the floor while play is in progress. However, they must remain in their team bench area and only one of them can remain standing at any given time.

 In basketball if a ball hits a players foot accidentally, it is still called a kick-ball violation.

No, only 2 points should not be credited to Team A. In basketball, a successful shot made from beyond the 3-point line is worth 3 points. Even though B1 deflected the ball, if it still enters the basket, it should be counted as a successful 3-point shot.

Yes, the captain of Team B should be credited with 2 points. According to the rules of basketball, if a player accidentally scores in their own basket, the opposing team is awarded 2 points. Therefore, since A2 from Team A scored in their own basket, Team B's captain should receive the 2 points.

According to the rules of basketball, if the ball enters the basket before the period ends, it is considered a valid basket. The timing of the ball releasing the hand is what matters. As long as it released the hand before the time expired, it counts. Therefore, even if the period has officially ended, a basket can still count if the ball enters the basket before the time expires.

This is not a violation because the restricted area rule only applies to offensive players when the ball is in the frontcourt. Since A1 is dribbling in the backcourt, the restricted area rule does not apply to A3 in this situation.

In basketball, a jump ball is called when two opposing players have an equal claim to the ball and are both in possession of it. In this scenario, both A1 and B1 have a strong grip on the ball, indicating that they both have equal possession. Additionally, A1's action of moving both feet simultaneously suggests that he is attempting to gain sole control of the ball. Therefore, the official is correct in calling a jump ball as both players have an equal claim to the ball.

A non-contact foul refers to a foul committed without physical contact between players, such as a verbal altercation or unsportsmanlike behavior. A disqualifying foul, on the other hand, is a serious offense that results in a player being ejected from the game. It is possible for a non-contact foul to be severe enough to warrant a disqualification, such as using offensive language or making threatening gestures towards opponents or officials. Therefore, it is possible for a non-contact foul to be a disqualifying foul.

A technical foul should not be assessed to A1 for delay of game because according to the rules, a free thrower has 10 seconds to release the ball. Since A1 took more than 5 seconds, but the question does not specify that it exceeded 10 seconds, it can be assumed that A1 did not violate the time limit. Therefore, no technical foul should be assessed.

Both opponents do not have to have a firm grip on the ball with both hands for a held ball to occur. A held ball is called when two opponents have their hands firmly on the ball and neither player can gain control of it. It does not necessarily require both opponents to have a firm grip with both hands, as long as they are both unable to gain control of the ball, a held ball can be called.

The given correct answer is "No" because the statement is incorrect. The closely guarded rule applies when a player is holding the ball in his backcourt or frontcourt. This rule is in place to prevent excessive stalling and to encourage offensive play. When a player is closely guarded in the backcourt, they must either pass the ball, dribble, or attempt a shot within a certain time limit to avoid a turnover.

When a last or only free throw is successful, a time-out may be granted to either team. This means that if a player makes a successful free throw, either team has the option to call a time-out. This allows the team to strategize, make substitutions, or discuss tactics before the game continues. It provides an opportunity for teams to regroup and make necessary adjustments during critical moments of the game.

When the ball is at the disposal of the player making the throw-in, it is considered live. This means that the game is in play, and any player can interact with the ball. The player making the throw-in can pass, dribble, or shoot the ball, while opponents can try to intercept or challenge for the ball. Therefore, the correct answer is "Yes."

No, B1 does not have to allow sufficient room for A4 to pivot without contact. In basketball, a defender is allowed to closely guard an offensive player and make physical contact as long as it is within the rules of the game. As long as B1 is not committing a foul or impeding A4's ability to make a legal move, they can maintain close contact and prevent A4 from pivoting freely.

The official is not correct in awarding 3 free throws to A1. According to the rules, in order for a player to be awarded free throws, they must be in the act of shooting when fouled. In this case, A1 had already released the ball and returned to the floor before being bumped by B1. Therefore, the foul occurred after the shot attempt and should not result in free throws. However, they will be rewarded possession of the ball, this needs to be added instead of resulted in free throws.

No, play shall not resume with an alternating possession throw-in. According to the given scenario, A10, B10, and B11 were disqualified for leaving the team bench area. Leaving the team bench area results in a technical foul, which should be penalized by awarding the opposing team with two free throws and possession of the ball at the spot nearest to where play was interrupted. Therefore, play should resume with free throws, not an alternating possession throw-in.

If the 24-second signal sounds in error and neither team is in control of the ball, play does not necessarily have to be interrupted. This means that the game can continue without any pause or stoppage, even if the signal was sounded incorrectly.

After a time-out, the throw-in should take place at the throw-in line in Team A's frontcourt opposite the table. This is because when a team calls a time-out, they are given the opportunity to advance the ball to their frontcourt, and the throw-in line in Team A's frontcourt opposite the table is where the throw-in should occur. Therefore, the correct answer is Yes.

No, the basket shall not count. According to basketball rules, once a player starts the act of shooting, they are not allowed to take any additional steps before releasing the ball. In this case, A1 took three steps after being fouled before releasing the ball, which is a violation. Therefore, the basket does not count.

The shot clock should not be reset when a throw-in directly hits the ring of the opponent's basket. A throw-in is considered a new possession, and the shot clock is typically only reset when a team gains a new possession through a rebound or a steal. Hitting the ring does not qualify as gaining a new possession, so the shot clock should continue from where it was before the throw-in.

Yes, the shot clock should be reset to 24 seconds for the throw-in by Team A in their frontcourt. This is because when the ball goes out-of-bounds off B1's foot, it is considered a change of possession. According to the rules, the shot clock is reset to 24 seconds whenever there is a change of possession, regardless of where the throw-in occurs. Therefore, Team A will have a full shot clock to work with after the throw-in.

The no-charge rule does not require the defensive player to have both feet completely inside the no-charge semi-circle. The rule states that if the defensive player establishes legal guarding position before the offensive player begins his upward motion to shoot, a charging foul should be called. This means that as long as the defensive player establishes legal guarding position, regardless of whether both feet are inside the semi-circle or not, the no-charge rule can still apply.

The free throw awarded for a technical foul does not have to be attempted by a player who was on the floor when the foul was called. Unlike other fouls, technical fouls do not require a specific player to shoot the free throw. The team can choose any eligible player to take the shot, regardless of whether they were on the floor at the time of the foul.

No, Team A will not have a new 8-second count to bring the ball to their frontcourt. According to the rules, the 8-second count is reset only when the ball is legally touched in the frontcourt by Team A. In this scenario, the ball went out-of-bounds in Team A's backcourt, so the count does not reset and Team A will have to bring the ball to the frontcourt within the remaining time on the original 8-second count.

The official is not correct in calling an illegal dribble violation because according to the rules, a player can regain possession of the ball after a missed shot without committing a dribbling violation. Since the ball completely missed the ring and was not touched by anyone else, A1 is allowed to retrieve the ball and start a new dribble.

A time-out is not considered an interval of play. It is a temporary break in the game where the team can regroup, strategize, and receive instructions from the coach. During a time-out, the clock is stopped, and no gameplay occurs. Therefore, it does not count as an interval of play.

Team A should not be awarded a throw-in because A1 stepped on the free-throw line before the ball hit the ring, which is a violation. According to the rules, the free throw is unsuccessful if the shooter commits a violation before the ball hits the ring. It would be another shot for team A. Since the other team was the first to step into the lane, this means anything after that is irrelevant to the call.

A free throw ends when the ball hits the rim because once the ball makes contact with the rim, it is considered a live ball and can be rebounded or played by either team. At this point, the shooter's opportunity to score points from the free throw ends, and the game resumes with regular play.

An alternating possession throw-in does not end as soon as the ball is released by the thrower-in. In an alternating possession throw-in, possession of the ball alternates between teams after each throw-in. This means that the team that did not have possession of the ball for the previous throw-in will have the next throw-in. Therefore, the throw-in only ends when the ball is legally touched by another player on the court, not just when it is released by the thrower-in.

Yes, Team A should keep its right to the next alternating possession throw-in. In basketball, when a foul is committed during an alternating possession throw-in, the team that had possession of the ball retains the possession arrow. Therefore, even though A2 committed a foul, Team A still maintains the right to the next throw-in.

Yes, the ensuing Team A throw-in should take place at the spot nearest to where the double foul occurred in Team A's frontcourt. This is because according to the rules of basketball, when a double foul occurs, the team that had possession of the ball at the time of the foul retains possession. Therefore, Team A, who had possession, should be awarded the throw-in at the nearest spot in their frontcourt.

No, this is not a violation for illegally returning the ball to the backcourt. According to the rules of basketball, once the ball has been deflected by a player in the frontcourt, it is considered a new possession and can be legally touched by any player, including those in the backcourt. Since A3 is the first player to touch the ball after it has returned to the backcourt, there is no violation.

Yes, this is correct. According to the given scenario, A4 was in the act of shooting when B3 committed an unsportsmanlike foul on A2. Since A4's field goal try was successful, it should be credited. Additionally, an unsportsmanlike foul results in 2 free throws for the fouled player (A2) and a throw-in for their team (Team A) at the center. Therefore, the official's decision to credit the field goal and award 2 free throws to A2 plus a Team A throw-in at center is correct.

No, A1 may not pivot using his right foot as his pivot foot. According to the rules of basketball, once a player has landed on both feet simultaneously, neither foot can be lifted before the ball is released for a pass or a try for goal. Since A1 landed with both feet simultaneously after jumping off his right foot, he cannot pivot using his right foot without violating the rules.

Yes, the officials should count the basket and award Team A a throw-in with 14 seconds displayed on the shot clock. According to the rules, when a player is fouled during a shot attempt and the basket is successful, the basket should be counted. Additionally, Team B's 3rd foul in the period does not affect the outcome of the play. Therefore, Team A should be awarded the points and a throw-in with 14 seconds on the shot clock.

The first period does not begin when the ball is legally tapped by one of the jumpers during the jump ball. The jump ball only determines which team gains possession of the ball at the start of the game or overtime. The first period begins after the jump ball and one of the players gains possession. Then, the clock will start.

A1 does not need to remain as a player for at least one running phase of the game clock. In basketball, when a team reaches its 5th foul in a period, the opposing team is awarded free throws. In this case, A1 was fouled by B1, resulting in Team B committing their 5th foul. A10 substituted for A1, but when it was discovered that it was the 5th foul, A1 was asked to re-enter the court to attempt the free throws. After successfully making both free throws, A1 can then be substituted again or remain on the court based on the coach's decision.

The question asks whether an offensive player can set a screen behind a stationary opponent without making contact. The correct answer is "No" because in basketball, setting a screen involves making physical contact with the opponent. Therefore, it is not possible to set a screen without making contact, even if the offensive player tries to position themselves as close as possible without actually touching the opponent.

No, the substitution should not be granted at this time. The interruption caused by the scorer's erroneous horn sound and the official blowing the whistle indicates that the game has been stopped. In such a situation, substitutions are not allowed until the game resumes.

Yes, Team B can also substitute for one of their starters at this time. The substitution of player A1 with A10 on Team A indicates that a substitution is allowed during the pre-game warm-up. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that Team B can also make a substitution if needed.

Yes, Team A is in control of the ball because the throw-in pass was deflected by defender B1, which means it is still considered Team A's possession. Even though the ball bounced freely on the floor, Team A is still in control of the ball until another player gains possession or it goes out of bounds.

The correct answer is yes. Since the player received two technicals, You cannot receive two technicals or two flagrants or one technical and one flagrant. It results in disqualification. A10 shall be disqualified. You cannot receive two technicals in one game, or you are ejected. It doesn't matter where the technical fouls occurred.

Yes, this is a technical foul. In college basketball, a Class A technical foul can be called for any behavior that is deemed unsportsmanlike. Actions that fall under the scope of a Class A technical include arguing with officials, pushing/shoving, profanity, taunting, etc. So, if player A1 pushes player B1 while proceeding to their respective bench area during a time-out, it would be considered a technical foul.

No, B1’s action is not legal. This is considered a violation known as basket interference or goaltending. According to the rules, when the ball is sitting or rolling on the rim, players are not allowed to touch it or the rim.

This is not a correct statement. The referees do not cancel the free throw. The player will still get one free throw for the unsportsmanlike foul. No free throws will be eliminated.

Yes, this is a legal play. According to the rules of basketball, a player may end their dribble, throw the ball against the backboard, and then catch it again before it is touched by another player. This is often seen in professional games during “self-pass” plays, where a player throws the ball off the backboard and then dunks or lays it in.

Yes, the basket should count for 3 points. According to the rules of basketball, a shot attempt that is released before the period ends can still count if it goes in after the buzzer sounds. In this case, even though the ball hits the ring, it is tapped into the basket by B1, which is considered a successful shot. Therefore, A1's shot should count for 3 points.

No, the basket shall not count. According to the rules, once the 24-second signal sounds, any shot attempt must be released before the signal and touch no player or the ring. In this case, the ball was touched by B1 while it was still in its upward flight after the signal, which is a violation. Therefore, the basket should not be counted.

No, the official should not start a new 8-second count. According to NCAA rules, the 10-second count (equivalent to the 8-second count in NBA and FIBA rules) continues as long as the team remains in continuous control of the ball in their backcourt1. The count is not reset just because the ball touches an opponent. So, in this case, if A1’s pass from the backcourt hits B1, who is straddling the mid-court line, and the ball bounces back to A1, who catches the ball while still in the backcourt, the original 10-second count should continue.
