  • 2. 

    May both the Head Coach and the Assistant Coach give verbal instructions to their players on the floor while play is in progress provided they remain in their team bench area and only one of them remains standing at any given time?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Is it a violation if the ball accidentally comes in contact with a player's foot?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
     In basketball if a ball hits a players foot accidentally, it is still called a kick-ball violation.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    A1 attempts a try from the 3-point area. B1 jumps from the 2-point area and slightly deflects the ball which continues its flight and enters the basket. Shall only 2 points be credited to Team A?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    A2 accidentally scores in his own basket. Shall the captain of Team B be credited with 2 points?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    May a basket count if the ball enters the basket after a period has ended?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    While A1 is dribbling in the backcourt, A3 is standing in the restricted area under Team B's basket for more than 3 seconds. Is this a violation?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    A1 and B1 both have a strong grip on the ball. In trying to take sole control of the ball, A1 moves both his feet simultaneously. Is the official correct in calling a jump ball?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    May a non-contact foul be a disqualifying foul?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Free thrower A1 takes more than 5 seconds to release the ball on his last free throw. Shall a technical foul be assessed to A1 for delay of game?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Must both opponents have a firm grip on the ball, each with both hands, for a held ball to occur?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    The closely guarded rule only applies when a player is holding the ball in his frontcourt. Is this correct?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    When a last or only free throw is successful, may a time-out be granted to either team?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Is the ball live when it is at the disposal of the player making the throw-in?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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."

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    A4 is holding the ball and is closely guarded by B1. Must B1 allow sufficient room for A4 to pivot without contact?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    A1 jumps to attempt a 3-point try. A1 releases the ball, returns to the floor with both feet, is immediately bumped by B1, and falls to the floor. The try is unsuccessful. Is the official correct in awarding 3 free throws to A1?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    A1 scores a basket. A fight erupts and substitutes A10, B10, and B11 leave their respective team bench area. The two fighting players are assessed a double foul and are disqualified. A10, B10, and B11 are also disqualified for leaving the team bench area. Shall play resume with an alternating possession throw-in?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    If the 24-second signal sounds in error and neither team is in control of the ball, must play necessarily be interrupted ?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    Team A is awarded a throw-in in their backcourt with exactly 2:00 minutes displayed on the game clock in the 4th period. Team A is granted a time-out. After the time-out, shall the Team A throw-in take place at the throw-in line in Team A's frontcourt opposite the table?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    B1 commits a foul on A1, who has started the act of shooting. A1 loses his balance and takes 3 steps before releasing the ball on the try. The ball then enters the basket. Shall the basket count?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 21. 

    Shall the shot clock be reset when a throw-in directly hits the ring of the opponent's basket?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 22. 

    After taking control of a defensive rebound, B1 dribbles off his foot and the ball goes out-of-bounds. Shall the shot clock be reset to 24 seconds for the throw-in by Team A in their frontcourt?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 23. 

    For the no-charge rule to apply, must the defensive player have both feet completely inside the no-charge semi-circle?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

    Must the free throw awarded for a technical foul be attempted by a player who was on the floor when the foul was called?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 25. 

    In Team A's backcourt, A1's pass bounces off B1's back and goes out-of-bounds in Team A'S backcourt. When play resumes, shall Team A have a new 8-second count to bring the ball to their frontcourt?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 26. 

    A1 ends a dribble and releases the ball on a try for a basket. The ball completely misses the ring and is not touched by anyone before A1 retrieves it and starts a dribble. Is the official correct in calling an illegal dribble violation?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    Team A is granted a time-out. Is this considered an interval of play?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 28. 

    Defender B1 enters the lane before A1 releases the ball on a final free throw. A1 then releases the ball, but steps on the free-throw line before the ball hits the ring. The free throw is unsuccessful. The possession arrow favours Team A. Shall Team A be awarded a throw-in?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 29. 

    Does a free throw end when the ball hits the rim?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 30. 

    Does an alternating possession throw-in end as soon as the ball is released by the thrower-in?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 31. 

    While A1 has the ball for an alternating possession throw-in, A2 commits a foul. Shall Team A keep its right to the next alternating possession throw-in?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    A4 is dribbling in the backcourt. A3 and B3 commit a double foul in Team A's frontcourt. Shall the ensuing Team A throw-in take place at the spot nearest to where the double foul occurred in Team A's frontcourt?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 33. 

    A1 makes a throw-in from the backcourt. A2, who has both feet completely in the frontcourt, does not control the ball but deflects it into Team A's backcourt. A3 is the first player to touch the ball after it has returned to the backcourt. Is this a violation for illegally returning the ball to the backcourt?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 34. 

    A4 is in the act of shooting when B3 commits an unsportsmanlike foul on A2. A4’s field goal try is successful. The official credits A4’s field goal and awards 2 free throws to A2 plus a Team A throw-in at centre. Is this correct?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    A1 catches the ball while airborne. A1 lands on his right foot, jumps off that foot, and lands with both feet simultaneously. May A1 now pivot using his right foot as his pivot foot?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 36. 

    A1 releases a try for a basket with 10 seconds displayed on the shot clock. While the ball is in the air, B4 fouls A4. This is Team B's 3rd foul in the period. The try is successful. Shall the officials count the basket and award Team A a throw-in with 14 seconds displayed on the shot clock?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 37. 

    Does the first period begin when, during the jump ball, the ball is legally tapped by one of the jumpers?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 38. 

    B1 commits a foul on dribbler A1. A10 substitutes for A1. An official puts the ball at the disposal of A2 for a throw-in. It is then discovered that the foul by B1 was the 5th foul by Team B in the period. The officials ask that A1 re-enter the court to attempt the free throws. Both free throws are successful. Must A1 remain as a player for at least one running phase of the game clock?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 39. 

    May an offensive player set a screen behind a stationary opponent as close as possible short of contact?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 40. 

    A substitution opportunity has ended when A10 runs to the scorer and requests a substitution. The scorer erroneously sounds the horn. The official blows his whistle and interrupts the game. Shall the substitution be granted at this time?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 41. 

    During the pre-game warm-up, starter A1 is injured and is unable to start the game. A10 substitutes for him. May Team B also substitute for one of their starters at this time?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 42. 

    A1's throw-in pass is deflected by defender B1 and bounces freely on the floor. Is Team A in control of the ball?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

  • 43. 

    While on the bench during the 1st period, substitute A10 impolitely addresses an official. A technical foul is called. In the third period, A10 has substituted and is now a player. He swears at an opponent and is assessed a technical foul. By rule, shall A10 be disqualified?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
