Fiba Worldcup Of Basketball Rules Quiz

In FIBA basketball rules, preventing a fast break by committing a foul without making a legitimate play on the ball is considered unsportsmanlike conduct and would result in an unsportsmanlike foul being assessed against the offending player. This rule aims to promote fair play and discourage intentional fouls to disrupt the flow of the game. Therefore, in the scenario described, B4's actions of attempting to distract A4 during a shot attempt would likely be considered unsportsmanlike conduct, resulting in an unsportsmanlike foul being granted by the officials.

No, A3 falling to the floor while holding the ball is not a traveling violation. In basketball, a traveling violation occurs when a player holding the ball moves one or both of their feet illegally without dribbling the ball. Falling to the floor while holding the ball does not constitute a traveling violation unless the player travels before falling. Therefore, the act described does not qualify as a traveling violation.

Yes, B2 should be charged with a technical foul. Clapping loudly near a player who is in the act of shooting can be considered as unsportsmanlike behavior and can distract the shooter, leading to an unsuccessful attempt. This behavior goes against the principles of fair play and can be penalized with a technical foul.

A4’s action does not conform to the spirit and intent of the rules. A technical foul may be charged against A4.

In FIBA basketball, the shot clock resets to 14 seconds after an offensive rebound. This rule gives the offensive team a shorter time frame to attempt a shot after securing an offensive rebound.

If a defensive player causes contact with an opponent from behind or laterally in an attempt to stop a fast break and there is no opponent between the offensive player and the opponents’ basket, then the contact shall be judged to be unsportsmanlike. This has always been a legitimate aspect of the FIBA rule. However, there was inconsistency in when the rule was being applied. The new wording is intended to make it very clear that such an action is to be considered an unsportsmanlike foul.

A player who is holding a live ball on the playing court is closely guarded when an opponent is in an active guarding position at a distance of no more than one (1) metre.

Each of these actions results in a turnover in basketball:

Dribbling with both hands (Option A) is considered a "double dribble" violation.

Holding the ball for more than 5 seconds when closely guarded (Option B) results in a violation known as the "5-second closely guarded" rule.

Jumping, catching the ball, and landing without passing or shooting (Option C) is a "traveling" violation. All of these actions give possession of the ball to the opposing team, leading to a turnover.

If a free throw is successful and the violation(s) is committed by any player(s) other than the free-throw shooter:
• Point(s), if made, shall count.
• Violation(s) shall be disregarded.

Goal tending occurs during a shot for a field goal when a player touches the ball while it is completely above the level of the ring and:
• It is on its downward flight to the basket, or
• After it has hit the backboard.

Yes, B2 must allow sufficient room for A3 to pivot. When an offensive player is closely guarded (meaning a defender is no more than 1 meter away), the offensive player has 5 seconds to shoot, pass, or dribble. During this time, the defender must give the offensive player enough space to execute their moves, including pivoting. A pivot is a legal movement in which a player holding the ball steps once or more in any direction with the same foot (called the pivot foot) while the other foot remains at its point of contact with the floor.

Yes, the official is correct in calling an eight-second violation. In basketball, the eight-second violation occurs when a team possesses the ball for more than eight seconds in its backcourt. The backcourt is the half of the court that contains the team’s defensive basket. The rule prohibits a backcourt possession lasting longer than eight seconds to prevent teams from camping with the ball on defense or playing keep-away. The penalty for committing an eight-second violation is a turnover, with the ball being given to the opposing team at the midcourt line. The eight-second rule exists in NBA and FIBA basketball, while in NCAA and high school basketball, the time players have to cross the midcourt line is 10 seconds rather than eight.

No. The ball become dead when the ball which is in flight on a shot for a field goal is touched by a player from either team after:
 An official blows his whistle.
 The game clock signal sounds for the end of the period.
 The twenty-four second device signal sounds.

In basketball, a player who commits a technical foul will be disqualified if it is their second technical foul in the game. Therefore, A1 must be disqualified after committing their third technical foul.

Goaltending occurs when a defensive player interferes with a shot while the ball is on its downward trajectory toward the basket or when the ball is above the rim and has a chance of going in. Once the ball is in this position, it cannot be legally touched by a defensive player. Option B refers to a clean block, option C describes offensive basket interference, and option D does not describe goaltending.

In the FIBA Basketball World Cup, when a defensive player commits an unsportsmanlike foul during a fast break, the opposing team is awarded two free throws and retains possession of the ball. This rule is in place to prevent dangerous and unfair play during fast breaks, where the offensive team has a clear opportunity to score. The other situations mentioned may result in free throws or possession changes, but they do not result in both free throws and possession being awarded together.

An illegal screen by a stationary player, also known as a moving screen, is considered an offensive foul in FIBA basketball. This occurs when an offensive player sets a screen and moves into the path of a defender without giving them enough time and space to change direction.

In considering the shot, the officials shall rule the shot as successful and award the points to A4's team. In basketball, distracting or attempting to distract an opponent during a shot attempt is considered unsportsmanlike conduct and can result in a technical foul being assessed against the offending player or team. However, the rules dictate that if the shot is successful despite the distraction, the basket still counts. Therefore, regardless of B4's actions, since A4's shot for the basket was successful, the officials shall rule the shot as valid and award the appropriate points to A4's team.
