6-  A team may view a videotape of the first half of play, during the intermission, if the viewing is done in their dressing room.

False.   NFHS 10-1-3.  This would be a team technical foul--not assessed to any particular person or coach, but one that counts toward the team total fouls.

7-  All rectangular backboards shall be padded according to specifications.  This padding must be gray in color.

False.  NFHS 1-9-1.  The padding must be a single color, not necessarily gray.

12-The referee shall inspect and approve all game equipment.

True. NFHS 2-4-1.

13-Team B leads by one point with seconds remaining in the 4th quarter.  A-1 releases the ball on a field goal try, but the noise level makes it impossible for the umpire (the  covering official) to hear the horn.  The umpire signals a good goal.  The referee  definitely hears the horn before A-1 releases the shot, but does not realize that the Umpire counts the goal.  The officials leave the court and are not aware of the problem until the scorer comes into their dressing room.  RULING­ Count the goal.  Team 'A' wins.

True.  NFHS 2-2-4.  Casebook 2-2-4C.
 

14-The officials arrive at the game site at 6:00 pm for a game scheduled for 6:30 pm. As they arrive, they see a team 'A' member dunk the ball.  RULING­ No technical foul.  Jurisdiction starts at 6:15 pm for the officials.  (15 minutes  prior to game time).

False.  NFHS 2-2-2.  Jurisdiction begins when officials arrive on the court.

15-The umpire calls traveling at the same time that the referee calls a foul on 'B-1'.  RULING­ The referee's call takes precedence over the call of the umpire.

False.  NFHS 2-6.  Casebook 2-6A.  Officials must determine which happened first.

16-Player 'A-1' injures his head by falling to the floor, and in the opinion of the officials,  'A-1' was unconscious for a short period of time.  RULING­ 'A-1' may not return to the game until written authorization is given by a physician.

True.  NFHS 2-8-5.  Casebook 2-8-5.

17- 'A-1' jumps and releases a try for a 3-point goal.  The try is successful.  The covering official does not signal a 3-point goal.  The coach of team 'A' rushes to the scorer's table and requests a full time out to discuss a correctable error.  It's determined that neither official clearly observed 'A-1s' location before the try.  RULING­ Two-point goal. Charge team 'A' with a full time out.

True.  NFHS 5-8-4, 5-11-3.  Casebook 2-10-1G.  A "time-out" request that does not result in a correction must be assessed to the team.  If a correction results, then no assessment.

18-'A-1' has been awarded two free throws.  By error, the ball is allowed to remain alive after the first free throw is missed.  'A-2' rebounds the miss and scores a field goal. 'B-1' then takes the ball and throws it in to 'B-2'.  Play continues until a foul is called on 'A-3'. RULING­ Take away the 2 point goal by 'A-2', allow 'A-1' to shoot the second of his free throws, with players occupying lane spaces.

False.  NFHS 2-10-1,2.  Casebook 2-10-1B.  A-2 goal counts.  Too late to correct error.  The window closed when B-2 touched ball after B-1's throw-in.

19-Deleted

20-The signal to end the 4th quarter cannot be heard by either official, as a goal by 'A-1'  enters the basket.  RULING­ The final decision rests with timer since he was observing the game clock as time expired.

False.  Casebook 2-13.  Final decision always rests with REFEREE.

21-Team 'B' has only four players on the floor during pregame warmups.  The coach of team 'B' states that several more players will arrive soon.  At game time, only four players are available.  RULING­ Allow the game to begin with team 'B' having four  players.

False.  NFHS 3-1-1.  Must start with 5.  Can finish with fewer.

22-Prior to the game, the coach of team 'A' tells the officials that he has two players with  the number '5' on their jerseys.  The coach states that one player wearing number '5' is a freshman and will not play in the game.  RULING­ No infraction, since only one team member with number '5' will participate.

False.  NFHS 3-2-2e, 10-1-2e and penalty.  Casebook 3-2-2B.  Duplicate numbers technical foul is assessed when discovered.  A maximum of only 1 technical foul per team in the game is assessed regardless of the number of violations of 10-1-2.

23-Deleted

24-During a 30 second time out, 'A-1' goes to the scorer's table to substitute for 'A-2'.  The 20 second warning has sounded.  RULING­ 'A-1' is not allowed to substitute at this time.

True.  NFHS 3-3-1a and Casebook 3-3-1A.  A-1 can substitute at the next substitution opportunity.

25-Deleted
26-All starters for team 'A' are wearing undershirts.  Two of these starters have undershirts that have cut-off and hemmed sleeves.  The other 3 players have normal length sleeves.  Ruling­ Team 'A' players may not wear these undershirts because they all do not match.

False.  NFHS 3-4-6.  Casebook 3-4-6.  The undershirts do not have to be alike among the players; only requirement is that both sleeves be alike on each individual player.

27-Player 'B-1' fouls 'A-1'.  As 'A-1' goes to the foul line, he pulls his shirt out of his pants. Ruling­ Remove 'A-1' immediately from the game.  Allow 'A-1s' substitute to shoot the free throws.

False.  Casebook 3-4-15.  Tell him to put shirt tail in, clear lane, shoot free throws, then direct him to leave till next sub opportunity.  Ball to B on baseline (spot if last throw missed, run end line if last throw made).

28-Team 'A' is wearing white jerseys.  The numbers are also white, with a one-fourth inch  red border and a one-fourth inch blue border.  RULING­ Illegal jerseys.

False.  NFHS 3-4-4.  Casebook 3-4-4.  Three colors are allowed:   red, white, & blue in this case.

29-Substitute 'B-1' is wearing an illegal undershirt.  The jersey is dark blue and the undershirt is white.  RULING­ 'B-1' may wear the undershirt after he is assessed a  technical foul.

False.  NFHS 3-5-4.  Illegal pants, illegal shirt, and illegal numbers may be worn after a technical--"buy way" into game. All else--illegal undershirt, illegal compresson shorts, jewelry, etc.--must be removed prior to continued participationóno technical foul assessed.

30-Team 'A' submits its roster and starters to the scorer 12 minutes prior to gametime.  At  5 minutes prior to gametime, head coach of 'A' changes 2 starters and adds 3 names to the squad list.  RULING­ Team 'A' will be assessed 5 technical fouls.

False. NFHS 3-2-2 and 10-1-2 with penalty.  Casebook 3-2A, Only 1 administrative team technical assessed (not an indirect to the head coach) as maximum for game, regardless how many changes.  (If roster and starters not done by 10 minute mark, this is also an administrative technical.)

31-A ball which is touching a player is in front court if neither the ball or player is touching the backcourt.

True.  NFHS 4-4-2.

32-A ball which touches an official who is standing on a sideline is deemed to be out of bounds.

True.  NFHS 4-4-4, 7-1-2b.  Casebook 4-4-4.

True.  NFHS 4-39-5.

36-Deleted

37-Successive time outs can only occur when the same team calls two or more time outs in  a row.

False.  NFHS 4-42-2.  When EITHER team calls second or additional timeout.  (Example:  Timeout A, timeout B,...)

38-Each team is allowed 3 full and 3 thirty second timeouts per regulation game.

False.  NFHS 5-12-1.  Only 2 thirty-second timeouts allowed.

39-Each team is allotted 1 additional full time out during an extra period.  Unused timeouts can accumulate and may be used at any time.

True.  NFHS 5-12-1.  (Don't get hung up on prohibition about successive timeouts after fourth quarter or extra periods, or that a timeout can't be used before game starts, as in 5-12-3,4.)

40-A full length time out can be shortened if only the team calling the time out is ready to play before the time out is over.

False.  NFHS 5-11-1.  It can be shortened only when BOTH teams are ready to play.

41-Team 'B' wishes to warm up at the goal nearest to their bench prior to the game. RULING­ Allow 'B' to warm up at that basket.  The visiting team has choice of goals.

42-Deleted

43-DDeleted

44-Kicking the ball is intentionally or unintentionally striking the ball with the knee or any  part of the leg or foot below the knee.

False.  NFHS 4-29; 9-4.  Must be intentional.  Let the unintentional go.  (NCAA says ANY part of the leg.)

45-An airborne player leaps from his frontcourt to save a bad pass.  He catches the ball and  passes it to a teammate who is also in the frontcourt.  The airborne player then lands in the backcourt.  RULING­ Legal play.

True.  NFHS 4-35-3.

46-Only the first extra period starts with a jump ball, even though several extra periods may be played.  All other extra periods will begin with the alternating possession  procedure.

False.  NFHS 4-28-1; 6-2-1,2.  Each extra period starts with a jump ball.  Only quarters 2, 3, and 4 begins with A-P throw in.

47-Blocking is illegal personal contact which interferes with a player's freedom of movement.

False.  NFHS 4-7-1; 4-26.  This is a definition of holding.  "Blocking" is illegal personal contact which impedes the progress of an opponent (would include tripping, etc.).

48-A technical foul is a foul by a non player, a non contact foul by a player, or an intentional or flagrant contact foul while the ball is dead, except a foul by an airborne shooter.

50-Deleted

51-'A-1' is dribbling when he stumbles and falls to the floor on one knee.  'A-1' continues to dribble and stands up.  RULING­ Traveling violation on 'A-1'

False.  NFHS 4-43-5.  Casebook 4-43-5-C.  "Continues to dribble" is the key.  There is no such thing as traveling during a dribble (NFHS 4-15-1; Rule Fundamental #6).

52-'A-1" is high in the air on a jump shot.  'A-1' releases the ball and it goes through the  basket.  Prior to returning to the floor, 'A-1' falls on 'B-1' who was in a set position. RULING­ Foul is on 'A-1', but award 'A-1' the goal since the ball had cleared the basket before the foul.

False.  NFHS 4-1-1; 4-19-6; 5-1-2.  Rule Fundamental #20. A player control foul (because A1 is an airborne shooter) cancels any basket, whether the foul occurs before or after the ball goes through the basket.

53-A common foul can be committed by an airborne shooter.

True.  NFHS 4-19-2; 4-19-6; 4-8-1.

54-A personal foul can only occur while the clock is running.

False.  NFHS 4-19-1.  6-1-2; 5-9.  Will usually occur while ball is alive (but clock is not always running while ball is alive:  jump ball prior to touch, throw-in prior to inbounds touch, free throw prior to touch after miss, etc.)

55-Deleted
 

56-'A-5' leaps up and dunks the ball.  He then grasps the rim to keep from falling on teammate 'A-2'.  RULING­ Charge 'A-5' with a technical foul.

False.  NFHS 10-3-5-exception. Casebook 10-3-5-A,B,D. This is an allowable exception to the rule--to prevent injury.

57-'A-1' and 'B-1' foul each other at the same time during a live ball.  RULING­ Award both 'A-1' and 'B-1' two free throws each; this is a double foul.

False.  NFHS 4-19-7a note.  Double personal foul.  No free throws, go with A-P arrow for throw-in at designated spot nearest foul.

58-Deleted

59-'A-1' and 'B-1' slug each other at the same time, as the referee moves to throw the ball  up to begin the first overtime period.  RULING­ Both 'A-1' and 'B-1' are disqualified.  No free throws are awarded; start the overtime with a jump ball.

True.  NFHS 4-19-7b; 4-19-4; 6-3-3f note; 10-3-10 penalty.  Double flagrant technical foul before initial setting of A-P arrow.

60-An intentional foul is always a personal foul.

False.  NFHS 4-19-3.  Could be technical (during dead ball).

61-A double personal foul is a common foul.

False.  NFHS 4-19-2.  Definition of common foul excludes double or multiple fouls.

62-A throw in count begins when the ball is placed at the disposal of the thrower or to the team entitled to it.

True.  NFHS 4-41-3.  Casebook 4-41-3.
63-A throw in count ends when the ball is legally touched inbounds by a player.

False.  NFHS 4-41-4.  The count ends when the ball is released directly toward the court.  The definition in 63 describes when the "throw in" ends.

64-'A-1' scores on a try for a field goal.  'A-2' slaps the ball out of bounds toward a sideline so that 'B' players cannot immediately get to it.  RULING­ Assess 'A-1' with a technical  foul.

False.  NFHS 10-1-5d; 4-46-3.  Casebook 10-1-5D. This is a team warning initially (blow whistle, go to table and have warning recorded, then advise head coach), and then subsequent delays are assessed with a technical foul.

65-A substitute becomes a player when he legally enters the court.  Or if entry is not legal, the substitute becomes a player when the ball becomes alive.

True.  NFHS 3-3-3.  Casebook 3-3-3B.

66-'A-1' is to shoot one free throw.  'B-2' enters the lane while 'A-1s' attempt is in flight.  RULING­ Award 'A-1' another free throw if the try is not successful.  If the try is  successful, ignore the violation by 'B-2'.

True.  NFHS 9-1 penalty 2-a,b.  Use delayed violation signal.

67-'A-1' is to shoot one free throw.  'A-2' enters the lane while 'A-1s'  attempt is in flight.   RULING­ Award 'A-1' another free throw if the try is not successful.  If the try is  successful, ignore the violation for 'A-2'.

False.  NFHS 9-1 penalty 1; 6-7-8.  The ball becomes dead immediately when the offense commits a free throw violation.

68-'A-1', 'A-2', and 'A-3' are all charged with technical fouls for dunking during pregame warmups.  During the first quarter, team 'A' commits 4 personal fouls.  RULING­ Team 'B' is not yet in the bonus situation.

False.  NFHS 4-8-1,2. Casebook 4-8-2.  The pregame T's count toward team totals (all fouls count toward team totals).
 

69-The head coach of team 'A' is disqualified prior to the game because 'A-1', 'A-2', and  'A-3' dunked the ball during pregame warmups.

True.  NFHS 10-3-5 and penalty; Casebook 10-3-5C. He is assessed an "indirect" technical for EACH of these T's for dunking prior to the game. First means he loses coaching box privileges. Third one results in disqualification.

70-The head coach of team 'A' is assessed a technical foul when an additional name and number are added to the official scorebook with two minutes remaining prior to game time.

False.  NFHS 10-1-2 and penalty.  (Compare Casebook 10-1-3A.) This is an administrative team technical foul (max of one is assessed in game).

71-Player 'A-1' is disqualified after committing his 5th personal foul.  Several minutes later, 'A-1' re-enters the game and is fouled in the act of shooting.  Officials then discover that 'A-1' has already fouled out.  RULING­ Assess 'A-1' with a flagrant technical foul and disqualify him.  The head coach of team 'A' is assessed an indirect technical foul.  'A- 1s' substitute is then allowed to shoot the free throws awarded to 'A-1'.

True.  NFHS 10-3-2 and penalty.  Casebook 10-3-2.

72-'A-1' dribbles toward his goal for an uncontested layup.  His shot is short and does not touch the goal or backboard.  'A-1' catches the try and dribbles across the lane to shoot again.  Ruling­ Violation; double dribble.

False.  NFHS 4-15; 4-40; 4-12-6.  Casebook 4-12 Comment; 4-43B.  Player and team control ended on the shot.

73-Contact which occurs unintentionally in an effort by opponents to secure a loose ball, may be violent and severe, and still not constitute a foul.

True.  NFHS 4-27-2.  Called incidental contact.  This rule is worth knowing well.

74-No team or player control foul exists during a throw-in or during a free throw.

False.  NFHS 4-12-6.  Casebook 4-12 Comment.  Free throw is ommitted from the list.  During a free throw a player is holding a live ball inbounds.  No team or player control during dead ball, jump ball, throw in, or while ball is in flight on a try or tap for a goal.

75-Teams line up and go the wrong direction to start the game.  They play for 4 minutes before the error is discovered.  RULING­ All points scored, fouls committed, and time consumed shall stand.  Teams will be allowed to "go the wrong way" for the remainder of the first half.

False.  NFHS 4-5-4.  Casebook 4-5-4.  The only wrong thing in statement is that the teams shall go the correct way for the remainder of the first half (toward the goal opposite their bench).

76-A dribble may be started by pushing the ball to the floor with both hands.

True.  NFHS 4-15-1.  The dribble ENDS when both hands touch the ball, but it can begin with a two-handed push.

77-Player 'A-1' bends over and touches the ball to the floor once or more than once.  He then stands up and begins to dribble.  RULING­ Violation for a double dribble.

False.  NFHS 4-15-4 note 3.  Touching the ball to the floor one or more times while holding the ball does not constitute a dribble.

78-Deleted

79-No goal is scored if an untouched throw-in enters a goal.

True.  NFHS 5-1-1, 9-2-7.  This is a throw-in violation that cancels the goal.

80-The clock starts when the ball becomes alive on a jump ball.

False.  NFHS 5-9-2, 6-1-2.  Ball becomes alive when the ball leaves the refs hand.  Clock starts when the ball is legally touched.

81-The game ends, if, at the end of any extra period, the score is not tied.

True.  NFHS 5-7-2.
 

82-Time out occurs and the clock, if running, shall be stopped, when an official sounds his  whistle for a violation.

True.  NFHS 5-8-1c.

83-As players line up for the jump ball to start the game, the coach of team 'A' asks for a time out.  RULING­ Grant 'A' a time out.

False.  NFHS 5-12-4.  Casebook 5-12-4A.  No timeout allowed until the game begins.

84-Team 'A' has used one full time out during regulation play.  Team 'A' will have 3 full time outs and 2 thirty second time outs to use during the first extra period.

True.  NFHS 5-12-1.  Each team gets 3 fulls and 1 thirty during regulation, and an additional full timeout for EACH extra period.  The unused timeout accumluate and may be used at any time.

85-Deleted

86-The score is tie at 60-60 at the end of regulation play.  Teams 'A' and 'B' have one full  time out each remaining.  Prior to the beginning of the overtime, team 'A' asks for a full time out.  Team 'B' then asks for a full time out.  RULING­ Grant each time out.

False.  NFHS 5-12-3; 4-42-2. Casebook 5-12-3-A,B. Successive timeouts are not allowed after playing time has expired for fourth period or an extra period.  Grant Team A's timeout request, deny Team B's.

87-A head coach can orally or visually request a time out while his team is holding the ball.

True.  NFHS 5-8-3.  Only the head coach's request from the bench is allowed (no other bench personnel can make a valid request).

88-Team 'A- has no time outs left.  The coach of 'A' asks for a time out, while 'A-1' is  holding the ball.  RULING­ Do not grant team 'A' a time out; they have none  remaining.

False.  NFHS 5-8-3; 5-12-2; 10-1-7.  Casebook 10-1-7.  An extra timeout is assessed a technical foul (can be "bought").  After the timeout period, give other team 2 free throws and then throw-in of the ball at the division line.

89-Play ends with the score tied at 60-60.  Prior to the first overtime, team 'A' coach curses an official.  RULING­ Allow 'B' to shoot 2 technical free throws.  If either shot is good, then no overtime will be played.

False.  NFHS 5-6-4.  Assess the free throws at the start of the extra period.  The only time the free throws would be assessed as above would be if the score were not tied and the free throws would decide if the game would be tied, won, or lost (such as in Casebook 5-6-4A).

90-The clock must always be running when the ball is alive.

False.  NFHS 6-1-2; 5-9.  Ball is alive on jump ball, free throw, and throw in prior to clock starting.  Ball is also alive on shots in flight after clock stops at end of period or when foul is called.

91-Extra periods are 4 minutes in length for boys games and 3 minutes in length for girls games.

False.  NFHS 5-7-3.  4 minutes for each.

92-Neither team has a time out left at the end of regulation play.  Team 'A' requests a time out prior to the start of the first extra period.  RULING­ Award team 'A' a time out and assess them with a technical foul.

True.  NFHS 5-12-2,4.  Casebook 5-12-4.  The "extra timeout" is not available until the overtime period begins.  In the above situation, the overtime period would start with assessment of Technical foul penalty.  When ball handed to Team B for throw in, set the A-P arrow toward Team A.

93-The ball becomes alive on a jump ball when it leaves the referee's hand.

True.  NFHS 6-1-2a.

94-To start the second, third, and fourth quarter, the referee shall hand or place the ball at  the disposal, at the division line, on either side of the floor, to the team in alternating  possession.

False.  NFHS 6-3-2.  The location shall be at the division line OPPOSITE the scorers table.
95-When the referee is ready to toss the ball and until it is tossed, non-jumpers shall not move onto the circle.

True.  NFHS 6-4-2a.  Casebook 6-4-2.  Nor may they change position around the center restraining circle.

96-On the jump, jumper 'A-1' taps the ball 3 times before any other player touches it. RULING­ Legal play

False.  NFHS 6-4-7d.  Casebook 6-4-7.  Two touches by the jumper is the max allowed.

97-'A-1' attempts a 2 point field goal with one second on the clock, in the second quarter. The try is partially blocked by 'B-1' after the buzzer sounds.  The try goes into the  basket.  RULING­ No basket since the ball was touched after time expired.

False. NFHS 6-7-6 exception and note. Casebook 4-40-4-A.  The ball does not become dead until the try ends if it was already in flight prior to sounding of a period-ending horn.  Subsequent touching by a defender does not end the try.

98-'A-1' and 'B-1' are jumpers to start the game.  The ball is tossed up and jumper 'A-1' taps it toward a sideline.  'B-2' and 'A-2' attempt to gain control of the ball and simultaneously bat it out of bounds.  RULING­ Re-jump between any two players.

False.  NFHS 7-3-2.  Casebook 6-3-1c.  B2 and A2 get the jump honors.

99-A ball is out of bounds if it passes over the top of a rectangular backboard.

True.  NFHS 7-1-2 note.  Casebook 7-1-2A.  In either direction (from front to back, or from back to front).

100-A ball is out of bounds if it hits the side of a rectangular backboard.

False.  NFHS 4-4-5; 7-1-2c.  Casebook 7-1-2A.  A backboard has 6 sides; only the back (rear) side is considered out of bounds.  The other 5 sides are OK--same as touching the floor inbounds.

101-Since all flagrant fouls are technical fouls, the throw in spot after free throws shall be at midcourt opposite the scorers table.

False. NFHS 4-19-4. Some flagrant fouls are technical, but some can be personal (and the throw in would be from a designated spot nearest where the foul occurred).

102-Free throws awarded because of a technical foul may be attempted by any player of the offended team, including an entering substitute.

True.  NFHS 8-3; 3-2-2a. And they may be attempted by multiple players (A6 shoots first shot, A7 shoots second shot...see Casebook 8-2 Situation).

103-Penalties for fouls are administered in the order that the fouls occur.

True.  NFHS 8-7.  Put the ball in play after the last foul's penalty as if it were the only foul that occurred.

104-'A-1' is intentionally fouled by 'B-1', during a live ball.  RULING­ 'A-1' will shoot 2 free throws and no players will occupy lane spaces.  Team 'A' will then throw the ball in from the midcourt line.

False.  NFHS 8-5-3.  The throw in is from a designated spot nearest to where the intentional foul occurred.  The midcourt line is utilized for technical fouls.

105-A try for a free throw will be made within 10 seconds after the ball has been placed at the disposal of the free thrower at the free throw line.

True.  NFHS 8-4; 9-1-3.  The visible count is with a slight wrist flick on the side away from the free thrower (do not want to distract the thrower).

106-Two free throws are awarded to team 'A' because 'B-1' dunked the ball in pregame warmups.

True.  NFHS 10-3-5 and penalty.  This is a technical foul which results in 2 free throws.

107-Team 'A' has only 5 players left.  'A-1' is fouled and injured so that he cannot remain in the game.  RULING­ Any one of the 4 remaining team 'A' players can shoot the free  throws.

True.  NFHS 8-2.  Team A keeps playing with the 4 players.  If the injured player recovers to the point that he can return to the game, he is allowed to do so (unless rendered unconscious, then need MD written approval).

108-It is a violation when during a designated throw-in by 'A-1', 'A-2' is out of bounds.

True.  NFHS 9-2-12.  Only the thrower is allowed out of bounds on a designated spot throw in.

109-It is a violation when a closely guarded count is reached in 'A's' backcourt.

False.  NFHS 4-10; 9-10-1.  Closely guarded count is applicable only in front court.  However, the 10-second backcourt count should be ongoing.

110-It is a violation for 'A-1' to strike the ball with his fist.

True.  NFHS 9-4.

111-It is a violation if in 'A's' frontcourt, 'A-1' passes the ball to 'A-2', but 'B-1' deflects the ball into the backcourt where 'A-2' is the first to touch it.

False.  NFHS 9-9.  Casebook 9-9-2A.  Team B was last to touch the ball in front court before it went into backcoard; therefore, A can legally touch the ball first.

112-On a throw in, player 'A-1' leaps in the air from the frontcourt and catches the throw in.  'A-1' then lands in the backcourt.  RULING­ Backcourt violation.

False.  NFHS 9-9 exception 1.  This is one of the "exceptions" to the backcourt violation rule.  Key is "airborne" and on throw-in and jump ball, any player may come down anywhere inbounds and he/she will be legal regardless of which foot hits first and where.  Once both feet are down, then normal frontcourt/backcourt regulations apply.

113-It is a violation to touch the ball during a try for a field goal while the ball is on the ring or in the cylinder above the ring.

True.  NFHS 4-6; 9-11.  Called basket interference.

114-'A-1' tries for a 2 point goal.  The ball lodges between the rim and the backboard.  RULING­ Violation by 'A-1'.  Ball out of bounds to team 'B'.

False.  NFHS 6-3-3d.  Casebook 6-3-3C. This is a jump ball situation.  Ball is dead with no team control.  Go to A-P arrow for designated spot throw in on baseline.

115-'A-1' throws the ball in from near midcourt.  The untouched throw in lodges between the rim and the backboard.  RULING­ Violation by 'A-1'.  Ball belongs to 'B' at the original  throw in spot.

True.  NFHS 9-2-8; 8-6-1. Casebook 9-2-8.  Thrower failed to pass the ball directly onto the court so that it was touched by an inbounds player.  If an A-P throw in, team A would also lose the arrow.

116-'A-1' is dribbling in backcourt.  'A-2' is standing in the lane in frontcourt.  'A-2' remains in the lane for more than 3 seconds.  RULING­ Three second violation on 'A-2'.

False.  NFHS 9-7.  Casebook 9-7A. Three second restrictions are applicable only while ball is in team control in the front court.

117-'A-1' has the ball in backcourt at a 9 second count.  He passes the ball toward 'A-2', in  the frontcourt.  'A-2' catches the ball at a 12 second count.  RULING­ No 10 second backcourt violation.  The ball was released by 'A-1' prior to the 10 second count expiring.

False. NFHS 9-8; 4-4-3.   Casebook 9-8-A,B.  The ball has to achieve front cournt status within the 10 seconds after the count begins.

118-'A-1', in front court, dribbles while closely guarded for 5 seconds.  RULING­ Violation by 'A-1'.

True.  NFHS 4-10; 9-10.  Casebook 9-10-1A.

119-Goaltending can only occur during field goal tries.

False.  NFHS 4-22-2; 9-12; 10-3-11.  Can also occur on free throws (touching the ball at any point it is in flight on a try for a free throw)óthis is also a technical foul in addition to a violation.
 

120-'B-1' waves his hand directly in the face of 'A-1' who does not have the ball.  RULING­ technical foul on 'B-1'.

True.  NFHS 10-3-8d.  Casebook 10-3-8 A.  This is illegal (unsporting conduct) because A1 does not have the ball.

121-'B-1' waves his hand directly in the face of 'A-1' who is attempting a try for a field goal.  RULING­ technical foul on 'B-1'.

False.  NFHS 10-3-8d.  Casebook 10-3-8 A.  This is a legal guarding maneuver.

122-'A-1' catches a throw-in pass with one foot on the floor in 'A's' frontcourt, and the other foot not touching the floor.  The non pivot foot then comes down in 'A's' backcourt.  RULING­ No violation.

False.  NFHS 9-9.  Casebook 9-9-1A.  The backcourt exception clause is not applicable because A-1 is not airborne.

123-Deleted
 
124-'A-1' is dribbling in backcourt near the midcourt line.  The ball is dribbled into frontcourt, even though both feet of 'A-1' remain in backcourt.  RULING­ No violation.

True.  NFHS 4-4-6.  All 3 points (ball and both feet) must be in frontcourt during a dribble for frontcourt status to be attained.

125-'A-1' scores a field goal.  'B-1' takes the ball out of bounds for a throw in and passes it to 'B-2' who is also out of bounds along the end line.  'B-2' then passes the ball to 'B-1' who is now in bounds.  RULING­ Legal play.

True.  NFHS 7-5-7.  This is NOT a designated spot throw in when restrictions exist about additional players being out of bounds.  Note:  the 5-second throw-in count continues until ball is passed directly inbounds.

126-'A-1' passes the ball from out of bounds along his baseline to 'A-2' who is in the backcourt.  RULING­ Backcourt violation.

False.  NFHS 9-9; 4-12.  No team control in front court (never team nor player control during a throw in); thus, ball can be passed whereever.

127-'A-1' passes the ball from out of bounds along his baseline to 'A-2' who is in frontcourt. 'A-2' muffs the pass and the ball rolls into the backcourt, where 'A-2' recovers it. RULING­ backcourt violation.

False.  NFHS 9-9.  Casebook 4-12-6.  Although A touched the ball in the frontcourt, such touching does not constitute "team control" in the front court.  The recovery by A-2 in the backcourt is the initial establishment of team control following the throw in.  This is all legal.

128-'A-1' scores a field goal.  'B-1' immediately calls a time out.  RULING­ After the time out, 'B' must put the ball in play from a designated throw in spot along the endline.

False.  NFHS 7-5-7.  Casebook 7-5-7B.  B can run the endline.

129-'B-1' goaltends a free throw try by 'A-1'.  RULING­ 'B' must throw the ball in from a designated spot along the endline.

False.  NFHS 7-5-7.  Casebook 7-5-7A.  Goal tending of a free throw is a technical foul.  Team A will shoot 2 FTs with lane clearned, and then Team A will inbound the ball at midcourt.

130-'B-1' is holding the ball out of bounds for a throw in.  'A-1' reaches through the boundary plane and slaps the ball out of 'B-1's' hands.  RULING­ technical foul on  'A-1'.

True.  NFHS 9-2 penalty 3; 10-3-12.  Hitting the ball on a throw in is a technical foul; hitting the player throwing the ball is an intentional personal foul.

131-'B-1' is holding the ball out of bounds for a throw in.  'A-1' reaches through the boundary plane and fouls 'B-1'.  RULING­ technical foul on 'A-1'.

False.  NFHS 9-2 penalty 3; 10-3-12.  Casebook 103-12 A and C.  This is an Intentional Foul.  Hitting the ball through the boundary plane is a technical foul (2 free throws and ball at division line); hitting the player is an intentional foul (2 free throws and ball at designated spot).

132-'A-1' is dribbling the ball near the sideline when he brushes against 'B-2' who is standing on the sideline.  RULING­ no violation.

True.  NFHS 7-1-1.  Casebook 7-1-1A.  The ball would have to hit B-2 to be out of bounds.  If A-1 brushed against an official, fan, or some other object (other than a player) that is out of bounds, then A-1 would be out of bounds.

133-The captain is the team's designated player on the court who is the team's  representative.  The captain must be one of the 5 players on the court and must have been one of the team's pregame captains.

False.  NFHS 3-1-2.

134-There are 4 lane spaces on each side of the lane.

True.  NFHS 1-5-2.  Casebook 8-1-2 Comment.

135-If the ball is to remain alive when the last free throw is not successful, only the first lane space on each side of the lane is required to be occupied.

True.  NFHS 8-1-3a.  Casebook 8-1-2 Comment and A.  And it must be occupied by an opponent of the free thrower.
 
136-'A-1' dunks in pregame warmups.  'B-1', who is not a starter, legally enters to attempt the free throws.  'B-1' replaces 'B-2'.  After the free throws, 'B-2' returns to the starting  lineup.  RULING­ legal

False.  NFHS  3-3-4; B-1 can be replaced, but not by B-2.  The restriction is on the player who comes OUT of the game (may not return until the first substitution opportunity after the clock has legally started).

137-'A-1' dunks in pregame warmups.  'B-1', who is not a starter, legally enters to attempt  the free throws.  'B-1' replaces 'B-2'.  'B-1' misses the first free throw.  Team 'B's' coach replaces 'B-1' with 'B-3', who attempts the second free throw.  RULING­ Not a legal substitution.

False.  NFHS 3-3-4; 8-3.  Casebook 8-1-2B.  Simplified/Illustrated p. 55 8-3.  This is legal.  Each free throw for technical fouls may be attempted by a different player.

138-'A-1' is to shoot 2 free throws.  Prior to his release on the first try, 'A-2' fouls 'B-2', RULING­ clear all lane spaces and allow 'A-1' to shoot his free throws.  If 'B' is in the bonus, allow 'B-2' to shoot his free throw/throws, with players in lane spaces.

True.  NFHS 4-19-8; 7-5-5; 8-6-1.  Casebook 6-7-B.  This is a false double foul.  Administer in the order in which they occur, and resume play as if the last foul were the only foul to occur.  A2s foul is a personal foul (ball is alive on FT try).

139-Deleted

140-'A-1' is to shoot 2 free throws.  Prior to his release on the first try, 'A-2' and 'B-2' push each other at the same time.  RULING­ clear all lane spaces and allow 'A-1' to shoot his free throws.  Then allow 'A-2' and then 'B-2' to shoot their free throws if either is in the bonus.

False.  NFHS 4-19-8.  Casebook 8-7-A.  The pushing is a double personal foul against A-2 and B-2, which results in NO free throws.  Go with A-P arrow for throw-in.

141-Players in marked lane spaces may move into the lane as soon as the ball is released by the free thrower.

Fale.  NFHS 9-1-9 note.  Casebook 9-1-9.  Cannot move into lane until ball hits ring or backboard or the free throw ends.

142-Free thrower 'A-1' may move into the lane as soon as he releases the ball on his try.

False.  NFHS 9-1-7 and note under 9-1-9.  Same restrictions as lane personnel.

143-'A-1' is holding the ball.  He fumbles, recovers, and then dribbles.  RULING­ double dribble violation.

False.  NFHS 4-15-4 note 2.  Casebook 4-15-1.  Simplified/Illustrated 4-15-4.  Can fumble-dribble-fumble.  Cannot dribble-fumble-dribble.
 

144-'A-1' is closely guarded in his frontcourt.  'A-1' dribbles for 3 seconds while closely  guarded, and then holds the ball for 2 seconds while still closely guarded.  RULING-- Violation by team 'A'.  Team 'B's' ball.

False.  NFHS 9-10.  Casebook 9-10-1A.  Separate 5-second counts for dribbling and for holding.  Switch hands when switching counts.

145-Basket interference and goaltending cause the ball to immediately become dead.

True.  NFHS 6-7-9; 9-10 and 11.  Casebook 9-11 and 12 Comment.

146-Basket interference can only occur on tries for a field goal.

False.  NFHS 9-11 penalty; 10-3-11.  Casebook 9-11-12D.  Can also occur on a free throw (when it is a technical foul).

147-'B-1' slaps the ball off the ring during a 3 point try by 'A-1'.  RULING­ award team 'A'  3 points.

True.  NFHS 9-11 penalty.  Casebook 9-11-1C.  A small technicality is that the goal does not count, but the points are awarded as though it did (see Casebook 4-19-6-C).

148-Taunting is an unsportsmanlike foul penalized by a technical foul, on the player and an indirect technical on the head coach.

False.  NFHS 10-3-8c and penalty.  Technical foul assessed to the player only.  Head coach gets indirect T when a technical is assessed to bench personnel, dunking during warm up, playing after disqualified.
 
149-'A-1' is fouled in the act of shooting a 3 point goal.  The try is not successful.  Substitute 'A-2' and 'B-2' are awaiting entrance into the game.  RULING­ Allow both substitutes to enter after the 2nd free throw ends.

True.  NFHS 3-3-1c.  May come in before the FINAL attempt.

150-'A-1' is fouled in the act of shooting a 3 point goal.  The try is not successful.  Substitutes 'A-2' and 'B-2' are awaiting entrance into the game.  'A-1' immediately  calls a time out after the foul is called.  RULING­ Both substitutes cannot enter during the time out.

False.  NFHS 3-3-1a.

151-'A-1 is to have a throw in from a designated spot.  After being handed the ball, 'A-1'  backs up 4 feet. RULING­ Violation for 'A-1' leaving the designated throw in spot.

False.  NFHS 4-41-6.  Casebook 4-41-6.  The spot is 3 feet wide and an unlimited depth (to the wall).

152-Deleted

153-The head coach of team 'A' requests a full time out, while 'A-1' is holding the ball.  The scorer informs the officials that team 'A' has no full or 30 second time outs remaining. RULING­ Award team 'A' a full time out, but assess team 'A' with a technical foul.

True.  NFHS 5-8-3a; 5-12-2; 10-1-7.  Casebook 10-1-7.  When one is legitmately requested, then it should be awarded.

154-'A-1' is fouled by 'B-1'.  The calling official moves to the table to report the foul.  The  coach of team 'B' asks for a full time out.  Thereafter, the scorer reports to the officials that 'B-1' has fouled out.  RULING­ 'B-1' must be removed from the game before a time out can be given to team 'B'.

True.  NFHS 5-8-3b.  Casebook 5-8-3A.  Do not be too quick to award the timeout, especially late in game.  Once it is awarded, it cannot be revoked (see Casebook 5-8-3E).

155-'A-1' requests a time out while he is airborne over a sideline, and holding the ball.  RULING­ Grant team 'A'  a time out.

True.  NFHS  5-8-3a.  Casebook 5-8-3D.

156-Deleted
157-'A-1' requests a time out while his pass is in flight toward 'A-2'.  RULING­ Grant team  'A' a time out.

False.  NFHS 5-8-3a; 4-12-1 and 2.  Casebook 5-8-3D.  No player control during a pass (there is team control).  A timeout request cannot be honored when the ball is loose between players.

158-Team 'A' has 6 players on its roster.  Two of those players foul out.  In a gesture of sportsmanship, team 'B' elects to play with 4 players also.  RULING­ Allow team 'B' to play with 4 players.

False.  NFHS 3-1-1.  Casebook 3-1-1.  If a team has 5, they have to play with 5.

159-'A-14' enters the game.  Several trips up and down the floor later, the scorer notifies  the officials that there is no 'A-14' on the scorebook.  RULING­ Charge team 'A' with a technical foul and write 'A-14's' name and number in the book.

True.  NFHS 3-2b; 10-1-2b and penalty  Casebook 3-2-2C.  This technical (maximum of 1 per game) is charged when discovered.  If other administrative problems (add names, change number, identical numbers), make the corrections as needed but no more technical fouls (see Casebook 3-2-2 situations).

160-Prior to the jump to start the game, the scorer notifies the officials that all team 'A' members are wearing different numbers than those recorded in the score book. RULING­ Charge team 'A' with a technical for each change in numbers.

False.  NFHS 3-2-2c; 10-1-2c.  Casebook 3-2-2D.  Only 1 technical foul is charged (maximum number per rule).

161-Deleted

162-Substitute 'A-1' reports to the scorer wearing the number "8" on his jersey.  RULING­ The number "8" cannot be worn.  If 'A-1' wishes to play, he must change to a legal number.

False.  NFHS  3-4-3; 10-3-3 penatly.  Illegal number, illegal shirt, and illegal pants can be worn but a T is assessed for each (see Casebook 3-4 A & B) if discovered before ball becomes live.  Other illegal equipment cannot be worn and must be removed (no T).

163-'A-1' is a designated starter.  During pregame warmups, 'A-1' is injured.  RULING­ A technical foul will be assessed to team 'A' if the designated 5 starters do not start.

False.  NFHS 3-2-2a.  Casebook 3-2B.

False.  NFHS 5-8-2 note; 3-3-5.  Casebook 3-3-4A.

165-'A-1' is injured and blood covers his shirt.  'A-1' is removed from the game and the injury is bandaged.  The coach of team 'A' informs the officials that 'A-1' will  be wearing another number because of the blood on his original jersey.  RULING­ Legal. No technical is assessed; make the change in the official score book.

True.  Casebook 3-2-2E.

False.  NFHS 9-9.  Casebook 4-12-2.  Neither player nor team control on a try.

168-'A-1' is fouled by 'B-1'.  'A-1' then shoves 'B-1'.  RULING­ Double personal foul.

False.  NFHS 4-19-7 & 8.  This is a false double foul (personal foul by B1 during live ball, technical foul by A1 during dead ball).  Assess penalties for both fouls in the order in which they occur.

169-Three team 'A' substitutes enter the court during a fight.  RULING­ The 3 substitutes are disqualified and the coach of team 'A' is indirectly charged with a technical foul.   Team 'B' is also awarded 6 technical foul shots for the 3 subs entering the floor during the fight.

False.  NFHS 10-4-4 and penalty.  Casebook 10-4-4A.  Per rule: only 2 technical foul shots because only 1 T is administered, although 3 subs charged with flagrant Ts and head coach is indirectly charged with T.  See Summary of Penalties for All Fouls 8-b-1 on p. 66.

170-'Deleted
 

171-'A-1' attempts a 3 point try.  'B-1' leaps from the 2 point area and partially blocks the try.  The try goes into the basket.  RULING­ A 3 point goal is scored.

True.  NFHS 5-2-1.  Casebook 5-2-1C.  Touching by B1 does not end the try.

172-'A-1' is fouled while dribbling the ball.  There is no bonus in effect and there are two-tenths of a second remaining in the quarter.  'A-1' throws the ball in to 'A-2' who catches it and throws it into the basket as the horn goes off.  RULING­ Good goal if 'A-2' released the ball prior to the horn sounding.

False.  NFHS 5-2-5.  Casebook 5-2-5A.  By rule, a catch and throw is not allowed with three-tenths of a second or less remaining.  Only a tap is allowed, and then it must be judged to be away from the hand when the horn sounds.

173-'A-1' is fouled while dribbling the ball.  There is no bonus in effect and there are  two-tenths of a second remaining in the quarter.  'A-1' throws the ball in to 'A-2' who taps the ball into the basket as the horn goes off.  RULING­ Good goal if 'A-2's' tap was in flight prior to the horn sounding.

False.  NFHS 5-2-5.  Casebook 5-2-5A.  By rule, only a tap can be allowed when three-tenths of a second or less remains, and then it must be judged to be away from the hand when the horn sounds.

174-'A-1' is out of bounds for a throw in.  'A-1's' throw in hits 'B-1' and directly deflects to 'A-1' who catches it ('A-1' is still out of bounds).  RULING­ 'B's' ball at that spot.

True.  9-2-10; 9-3; 7-2-2; Casebook 7-2-2.

175-It is possible for 2 'A' players to be legally out of bounds on a throw in.

True.  NFHS 7-5-7.  After a goal or awarded goal, the team making the thrown in can run the end line and may pass the ball along the end line to a teammate(s) outside the boundary line (5 second count continues).

176-'A-1' makes a throw in pass from 'B's' endline to 'A-2' who is on the other end of the  court.  The pass is overthrown and touches no one.  RULING­'B's' ball at the original throw in spot.

177-'A-1' makes a throw in pass from 'B's' endline to 'A-2' who is on the other end of the court.  The pass hits the face of the backboard and deflects to 'A-2', who lays it into the basket.  RULING­ Legal play.

True.  NFHS 4-13.  Casebook 7-1-2A.  Fundamental #19.  The face of the backboard is a part of the court.

178-Deleted

179-After 'B-1' obtains a legal guarding position, he is not required to have either or both feet on the floor or continue facing the opponent to maintain legal position.

True.  NFHS 4-23-3a.  He can move in just about any direction except toward the opponent when contact occurs.

180-To obtain a legal guarding position, the guard must have both feet touching the floor and the front of the guard's torso must be facing the opponent.

True.  NFHS 4-23-2.

186-The head coach of team 'A' is charged with a technical foul and is immediately disqualified if he is detected using chewing tobacco.

False.  NFHS 10-4-3 and penalty.   Not a disqualifying (flagrant) foul, but it is a direct technical (of which he only gets 2 before disqualification).

187-Points may be awarded for goaltending and for basket interference.

True.  NFHS 9-11 and 12 and penalty.  Casebook 9-11 and 9-12.  Fundamental # 7.  The only infractions for which points are awarded are goaltending by the defense and BI at the opponents basket.

188-No violation occurs if a player touches the ball outside the cylinder while reaching  through the basket from below.

False.  NFHS 4-6-3; 9-11-3.  This is another dimension of basket interference.

True.  NFHS 5-2-2.

192-A goal from the field counts for 2 or 3 points for the throwers team and is credited to the thrower.

False.  NFHS 5-2-1.  A goal from the field counts 2 points for the team into whose basket it is thrown, unless it is a successful try or thrown ball from the field by a player located behind the 19-foot-9 inch line (counts 3 points).

193-Deleted

194-To legally screen an opponent, a player must face that opponent.

False.  NFHS 4-39-2a.  The screener may face in any direction.  (See Simplified/Illustrated pp. 83-89 for Screening Principles discussion.)

210-While the ball is alive, a loose ball always remains in control of the team whose player last had control, unless there is a tap or try for a goal.

230-A false double foul can only involve personal fouls.

False.  NFHS 4-19-8.

231-Players 'A-1' and 'B-1' both have their hands firmly on a live ball.  Neither can gain control without undue roughness.  RULING­ Held ball; jump at the nearest circle.

False.  NFHS 4-25-1.  This is a held ball, but players do not jump.  Ball is awarded according to the Alternating-Possession arrow.

232-Player 'A-1' attempts a try for a field goal.  'B-1' places his hand on the ball so that  'A-1' cannot release it.  RULING­ Held ball; jump at the nearest circle.

False.  NFHS 4-25-2.  Key here is airborne player prevented from releasing ball to pass or try for goal.  This is a held ball, but players do not jump.  Ball is awarded according to the Alternating-Possession arrow.

233-Team 'A' uses all of its time outs during the intermission between the first and second  quarters.  RULING­ Legal time outs.

True.  NFHS 5-12-1 & 3; 4-42-2.  The only restrictions on when successive timeouts can be used is after expiration of playing time for fourth quarter and for extra periods (limited to use of just 1 timeout by EITHER team during these intermissions).

234-The ball becomes dead when a goal is scored.

False.  NFHS 7-5-11.  The throw in spot is not at midcourt (used for technical fouls), but at the out-of-bounds spot nearest the foul.

236-'A-1' is in player control during a dribble or while holding a live ball out of bounds for a  throw in.

False.  NFHS 4-12-1.  There is no player control during a throw in (NFHS 4-12-6).  Player control is holding or dribbling a live ball in bounds.

237-'A-1' attempts to dunk the ball during pregame warmups.  RULING­ No infraction since 'A-1' did not actually dunk the ball.

False.  NFHS 10-3-5.  Attempting to dunk is also a T.  Also this is indirectly assessed to the head coach.

238-'A-1' attempts to throw in to 'A-2'.  'A-2' is standing on a sideline when he catches the  ball.  RULING­ Team 'B-'s' ball at the spot where 'A-2' violated.

False.  NFHS 7-2-2; 9-2-10 penalty.

239-'A-2' fouls 'B-1' while 'A-1's' field goal try is in flight and then 'B-2' commits basket  interference.  RULING­ Ignore the interference.

True.  NFHS 9-11 penalty.  How many free throws for A?

241-If 'B-1' goaltends and airborne shooter 'A-1' then commits a player control foul, the goaltending is ignored.

242-'A-1' becomes confused and shoots the ball at 'B's' basket from beyond the 3 point  line.  The ball goes into the basket.  RULING­ Award team 'B' 3 points.

False.  NFHS 5-2-1.  Three points only when you shoot it into your basket.  All other baskets field are just 2 points.

243-'A-1' becomes confused and shoots the bal toward 'B's' basket.  'A-1' is fouled by 'B-1'  during the shot.  RULING­ Award 'A-1' two shots if the attempt is missed; and one shot if the attempt is successful.

False.  NFHS  4-40-2.  Casebook 4-40-2.  A player is not in the "act of shooting" if not shooting toward his basket.  Just a regular personal foul.

244-Deleted
245-The ball becomes dead when it is apparent that the last free throw for a technical foul is unsuccessful.

True.  NFHS 6-7-2b.

246-The ball becomes dead when it is apparent that the last free throw for a personal foul is unsuccessful.

247-One free throw is awarded to team 'A' if team 'B' calls an excess time out.

False.  NFHS 10-1-7 penalty.  Casebook 5-12-4-B.  Two free throws for all technical fouls.

248-Correctable errors include permitting the wrong team to attempt a free throw.

True.  NFHS 2-10-1c.  There are 5 correctable errors (and 4 involve free throws).

249-Correctable errors included failure to award a merited free throw.

True.  NFHS 2-10-1a.  This is the one that can have a different resuming of play scenario.

250-Correctable errors include attempting a free throw at the wrong basket.

True.  NFHS 2-10-1d.

251-Deleted

252-A specific procedure is used to prevent delay in resuming play following a time out or the intermission between quarters.  This procedure is called the resuming play  procedure.

True.  NFHS 4-3-7; 7-5-11.  Casebook 7-5-1.
253-The administering official has reached a 5 second count on a throw in for team 'A', after placing the ball on the floor when 'A' was not ready to resume play following a time out.  RULING­ The violation is administered and the ball is made available to team 'B' for a throw in, at the same spot.  If team 'B' has no player in position, the same procedure is followed as for team 'A'.  If both teams have violated, a technical foul will be assessed to both teams if there is any further delay.

False.  NFHS 7-5-1.  Casebook 7-5-1.  Procedure is correct till the last sentence.  Only the delaying teamwould be assessed a technical foul.  (Only if both continued to delay returning to the floor would a double technical.)

254-If a goal or awarded goal precedes a throw in, the opponents can throw in anywhere along the endline.

True.  NFHS 7-5-7. Casebook 7-5-7 A & B.

255-Team 'A' is awarded a throw in near the division line.  The administering official, by mistake, puts the ball at 'B-1's' disposal.  'B-1' completes a throw in to 'B-2' who scores a goal.  RULING­ This is a correctable error.  Take away the goal from 'B', and give the ball to team 'A' at the original throw in spot.

False.  NFHS 2-10.  Casebook 7-5-2B. Once the ball has been inbounded, it is too late to stop and correct this mistake.  If the official recognizes the mistake after putting the ball at the disposal of the thrower but before the throw in ends, then he can stop and restart correctly.

256-While attempting a throw in, 'A-1' holds the ball through the plane of the boundary line and 'B-1' slaps the ball out of his hands. Ruling­ Legal play, no violation.

True.  NFHS  9-2-11 note.  Casebook 7-6-3A.  It is a live ball.

257-While attempting a throw in, 'A-1' holds the ball through the plane of the boundary line  and 'B-1' simply grabs the ball and throws it into 'B's' basket.  RULING­ No goal.  An out of bounds violation when 'A-1' and 'B-1' were both touching the ball which is legally out of bounds.

False.  NFHS 9-2-11 note.  Casebook 7-6-3A.  This is a live ball.  Goal counts.

258-Substitutes 'A-5', 'A-15', and 'A-20' enter the game at the start of the second quarter.  Team 'B's' captain requests that the officials allow players to line up to aid 'B'  in locating their opponents.  RULING­ Legal request. Have the teams line up as if there was a jump ball situation.

True.  Not currently written anywhere, but was previously included in notes.  Whenver 3 or more substitutes enter at same time, the opponent can request this line up.
259-Between quarters, at halftime, or during a timeout, the team manager comes to the scorers table and informs the scores that 'A-2' will substitute for 'A-1'.  RULING­  Legal procedure.

False.  NFHS  3-3-1b.  The team manager can only do the honors at halftime.  At all others times, a player has to report to the table himself.

260-Team 'A' has inbounded the ball in a situation where 'A-1' should have been awarded a one-and-one.  The error is discovered while 'A-2' is in possession, but following a situation where 'B-1' had intercepted the throw in pass, but 'B-1' thereafter had fumbled the ball back to 'A-2.  RULING­ It is too late to correct the error, since both teams had possession of the ball.

False.  NFHS 2-10-1.  Casebook 2-10-6A.  There has not been a dead ball after the clock has properly started.  Change of possessions does not close the correctable error window.

261-A violation or foul can establish control for the purpose of determining in which  direction the possession arrow is initially set.

True.  NFHS 4-3; 6-3-1.  Casebook 6-3-1 E & F; 4-3-3; 6-1-1 Comment.

262-Following a jump ball, 'A-1' muffs the ball out of bounds.  Team 'B' starts the alternating possession when the ball is placed at the disposal of a 'B' thrower.

True.  NFHS 4-3; 6-3-1.  Casebook 6-3-1C.  And the arrow is set toward the opponents basket when the throw in by Team B starts.

263-Team 'A' is awarded the ball for a throw in under the alternating possession procedure. 'A-1' violates.  RULING­ Team 'B's' ball because of the violation.  Team 'A' keeps the arrow.
False.  NFHS 6-3-5; Casebook 6-3-5A.  The arrow changes when the AP throw-in ends or the throwing team violates (not fouls!).

264-Deleted

265-To the referee's pre-game inquiry of coaches regarding all players being legally  Equipped and will wear the uniform properly, both coaches responded "yes".  Three minutes into the first quarter, the umpire observes 'A-1' to have a tongue stud.   RULING-Assess 'A-1' with a technical foul and give team 'A' coach an indirect   technical.

False.  NFHS 3-5; 2-4-5.  Casebook 2-4-5B.  There is no penalty against the coach; just remove the player until the illegal equipment is removed.

266-'A-1' leaps high and is fouled by 'B-1' as 'A-1' taps the ball which goes through 'A's'  basket.  'A-1' then fouls 'B-2' in returning to the floor.  RULING­ Foul by 'B-1' causes the ball to become dead. If the foul by "A-1' is flagrant, then call it; otherwise, no foul on 'A-1' since the ball became dead when 'B-1' fouled.

False.  NFHS 4-19-8.  Casebook 4-19-8A.  This is a false double foul.  The foul by airborne shooter A1 is a player-control foul and it causes the ball to become dead immediately (not B1s foul).  Cancel A1s basket.  Award A1 free throws with lane cleared.  Then Bs ball for throw in at spot nearest to A1s foul.

267-If 'A-1' catches the ball with one foot off the floor, 'A-1' may jump off the foot which is on the floor and then alight simultaneously with both feet and then may pivot with either foot.

False.  NFHS 4-43-2-b-2.  Casebook 4-42-2A.  Neither foot can pivot in this situation (or any other jump-stop scenario).

268-If 'A-1' catches the ball with both feet off the floor and alights on one foot, 'A-1' may   jump off that foot and alight simultaneously with both feet, but 'A-1' may not pivot in this case.

True.  NFHS 4-43-2-a-3.

269-Team 'A' is in control while the ball is loose after 'B-1' deflects a pass from 'A-1' to 'A- 2'

True.  NFHS 6-4-7; 4-28-3.

273 - The defender should not be penalized for leaving the floor vertically or having his hands and arms extended within his vertical field.

False.  NFHS 3-3-3. Casebook 3-3-3B.  Became a player when the ball becomes alive.

275-An airborne shooter is a player who has released the ball on a try for goal and has not returned to the floor.

True.  NFHS 4-1-1.  Casebook 4-1-1.

276-It is the duty of the referee to notify the head coach and the player on the player's disqualification.

False.  NFHS 2-8-4.  Casebook 2-8-4.  The calling official gets the honor.

277Deleted

278-The ball does not always become dead when an official's whistle sounds for a player control foul.

False.  NFHS 6-7-4.  Fundamental 13.  Casebook 6-7-4.  The ball does always become dead immediately on a player control foul.

279-A flagrant foul is always a technical foul.

False.  NFHS 4-19-4.  It may also be a personal foul.  In either case, it results in disqualification of the offender.

280-An unsportsmanlike foul is always a technical foul.

True.  NFHS 4-19-13.

281-A personal foul, by definition, must occur during a live ball.

False.  NFHS 4-19-1.  Fundamental 10.  Usually is during a live ball, but can be during a dead ball if a common foul on or by an airborne shooter.

282-It is a technical foul if a player places a hand on the backboard to gain an advantage.

True.  NFHS 10-3-6a.

283-Player 'B-1' attempts to block 'A-1's shot.  'B-1' slaps at the ball and unintentionally  slaps the backboard.  RULING­ No technical, since the slap was not intentional.

True.  NFHS 10-3-6b.  Casebook 10-3-6.

284-Deleted

285-Twenty-second time-outs have been increased to 30 seconds, with the warning buzzer sounding at 15 seconds.

False.  NFHS 5-11-2.  The warning buzzer sounds at 20 second mark into the timeout.

286-'B-1' fouls 'A-1' while he is in the act of shooting a 2 point goal. The shot is not successful.  The foul by 'B-1' is his fifth foul.  Three substitutes are waiting to enter at the scorer's table. Upon notification, of the 5th foul,  the coach of team 'B' sends 'B-10'  to replace 'B-1'.  RULING­ Allow 'B-10' and the 3 other substitutes to enter immediately.

True.  NFHS 3-3-1c exception.

287-Deleted
 

288-Thrower 'A-1' inadvertently holds the ball through the end-line plane during a throw-in. 'B-1' is able to grasp the ball and 'A-1' cannot pull it back.  RULING­ Held ball violation-an alternating possession procedure

True.  NFHS 4-25-1; 9-2-11 note.  Casebook 7-6-3F.

289-During an alternating possession throw-in, thrower 'A-1' holds the ball; throw the end-  line plane and 'B-1' grabs it, resulting in a held ball.  RULING­ Since the throw-in has not ended and no violation occurred, it is still 'A's' ball for an alternating possession  throw-in.

True.  NFHS 6-3-4 & 5.  Casebook 6-3-5.  Team A loses the arrow only when the throw-in ends or when it loses.  Neither happened.  (This is a good reason why arrow should not be changed too quickly.)

290-'A-1' is standing with one foot inside the 3 second lane and the other foot outside the lane.  'A-1' lifts the foot which is in the lane and returns it there without touching it to the outside of the lane.  RULING­ No 3 second violation.  'A-1' has "cleared" the 3  second lane when his foot is lifted from the lane.

False.  NFHS 9-7.  Casebook 9-7-B.

291-Team 'A' has control of the ball for 8 seconds in its backcourt, when 'A-1' passes the ball to 'A-2' in the frontcourt.  The ball hits the floor in the frontcourt at the count of 9 seconds, and is caught by 'A-2' at the 11 second count.  RULING­ 10 second backcourt violation.

False.  NFHS 4-4-3; 9-9.  Casebook 9-8-B.  The ball achieved front court status when it hit the floor there at 9 seconds.

292-'A-1' dunks over 'B-1' and then taunts him.  'B-1' retaliates and punches 'A-1'.   RULING­ Charge 'A-1' with an unsportsmanlike technical foul.  Charge 'B-1' with a flagrant technical foul and disqualify 'B-1' for fighting.

False.  NFHS 4-18-2; 10-3-8c; 10-3-10.  Casebook 4-18-2.  A1s taunting caused B1 to retaliate by fighting; therefore, A1 is also charged with fighting--a flagrant technical foul and disqualification.  Treat as a double technical.  NO Free throws, disqualify both players, go with A-P arrow.

293-Immediately following a goal by 'A-1', player 'A-3' slaps the ball away so that team 'B'  is unable to make a quick throw-in.  RULING­ The official should sound his whistle  and go to the table to have the scorer record a team warning for this specific delay. The warning should then be reported to the head coach of team 'A'.  Any future delay by 'A' shall result in a technical foul charged to team 'A'.

True.  NFHS 4-46; 2-11-8; 10-1-5d.  Casebook 10-1-5D.  This is one of 3 separate warnings a team may be given before a technical is assessed on the second occurence.

True.  NFHS 4-1-1; 4-40-1.  Casebook 4-1-1.

295-Deleted

296-Jumpers 'A-1' and 'B-1' do not touch the ball until one or both have returned to the floor.  RULING­ Re-jump with 'A-1' and 'B-1'.

False.  NFHS 6-4-7 note.  Casebook 6-4-7.  Neither has to jump.  Rejump only if neither touches the ball before the ball hits the floor or if the toss is bad.

297-Immediately following a goal or free throw by team 'A', or following a time-out in this  situation.  'A-1' inbounds the ball to 'A-2' and 'A-2' subsequently throws the ball through 'A's' basket.  RULING­ 1-Charge team 'A' with a technical foul. 2-Cancel the field goal made by 'A-2'. 3-Cancel any common fouls committed and any nonflagrant foul against 'A-2' in the act of shooting.  4-Put consumed time back on the clock.  (If there is no doubt that the throw-in was the result of confusion, especially after a time-out, the entire procedure except the technical foul, would be followed.

True.  Casebook 10-1-8.  A special procedure to be used only for this special circumstance.

298-The head coach of team 'A' has two direct technicals charged to him.  RULING­  He must leave the building or go to the locker room.

True. NFHS 10-4 and 5 note.  Casebook 10-5-A.  Two directs or 3 combination of direct/indirect technicals results in head coach disqualification and exit.  Everyone else must leave at 2 directs.  Also a flagrant technical has same disqualification effect for head coach (or any adult team member).

299-Screening principles do not apply to a player who is dribbling the ball.

False.  NFHS 10-6-32and 3.  Casebook 10-6-2B.

False.  NFHS 4-12-1.  Only inbounds.

301 - A-1 is tightly guarded in the back court during a throw-in by Team A on its base line to escape his defender, A-1 runs out of bounds along the sideline for approximately 30 feet, then re-enters the court.  Ruling: technical foul on A-1.

True.  NFHS 10-3-4.  Casebook 10-3-4 A & B.  Leaving the court for an unauthorized reason.
 
302 - Goal tending on a free throw always results in a technical foul.

True.  NFHS 9-12 and penalty 2; 10-3-11.  Casebook 9-12-A.

303 - It is a shooting foul if illegal contact occurs as a player jumps to attempt a tap.

False.  NFHS 4-40-1 & 7.  Simplified/Illustrated p. 47 6-7-7.  The act of shooting on a tap starts when the players hand touches the ball.  The above contact is not against a player in the act of shooting.

304 - A goal counts when the ball goes into the basket after a foul occurs, unless the ball becomes dead before the ball enters the basket or the goal is canceled.

True.  NFHS 5-1.  Funadmental 3.

305- Between the first and second quarter, Team Manager A informs the scorer that A-6 will be substituting.  Ruling: legal substitution.

False.  NFHS 3-3-1a.  The manager can report the substitute only during halftime.  At all other times, the player must do it himself.

306 - A-1 is handed the ball for a throw in on an alternating possession; A-2 fouls B-1 before the throw in.  Ruling: B-1 gets the ball (or free throw if in bonus), Team A keeps the arrow on the alternating possession.

True.  NFHS 6-3-4 and 5.  Casebook 6-3-5A and Comment.  AP arrow changes only when the throw in ends or the throwing team violates.  A foul by either team before the throw in ends does NOT result in change of arrow.

307 - A single, flagrant personal foul results in disqualification.

True.  NFHS 4-19-4; 10-6 penalty.  Fundamental 11.

308 - If there is less than three feet of unobstructed space for a throw in from any sideline or end line, a narrow broken line shall be marked on the court parallel with and three feet inside  that boundary.

311 - Any use of television or replay monitoring by an official relating to the game is prohibited.

True.  NFHS 2-2-1.

312 - Any official may declare the game a forfeit when conditions warrant.

313 - An official calling a game delay warning must report the warning to both the scorer and the head coach.

True.  NFHS 2-7-10.

314 - Player A-1 is injured and must leave the game.  The coach of Team A has thirty seconds to replace A-1, and it is part of the timer's duties to signal the end of the thirty second period.

True.  NFHS 2-12-5.  There is no warning signal for this 30 second period.

315 - When a coach requests and is awarded a full time-out, the reporting official should notify the scorers by first pointing to the coach, then raising the right index finger.

False.  Officials Manual on Timeouts (manual revision in 1999).  The signal to indicate to the table that a coach has called a timeout is by forming the shape of a C with the hand.

316 - Both player control fouls and technical fouls are counted as team fouls.

True.  NFHS 4-9-2; 4-19-12.

True.  NFHS 4-9-2.

318 - The front court of a team consists of that part of the court between its end line and the farther edge of the division line, including its basket and the in bounds part of the backboard.

False.  NFHS 4-13-1.  The nearer edge of the division line is correct.

319 - A-1 dribbles the ball off his/her foot and the ball bounces wildly; A-1 rushes after the ball and runs over B-1, who is stationary.  Result: player control foul on A-1.

False.  NFHS  4-12-1; 4-15-5; 4-19-6.  Casebook 4-12-1-B.  No player control during an interrupted dribble.

320 -The maximum distance between an offensive and defensive player that is considered "closely guarded" is five feet.

False.  NFHS 4-10; 4-23-1.  Six feet is maximum limit.

321 - It is a "kicking" violation for any player to intentionally strike the ball with any portion of the leg below the hip.

False.  NFHS 4-29.  A kicking violation is intentionally striking the ball with the knee or any part of the leg or foot below the knee.

322 - A "kicking" violation can only be called on a defensive player.

False.  NFHS 4-29; 9-4.

323 - Bench personnel include anyone affiliated with the team, including managers and statisticians.

True.  NFHS 4-34-2.

324 - A-1 is handed the ball by an official for a throw in at a designated spot.  While trying to locate an open teammate, A-1 inadvertently changes his pivot foot.  Ruling: violation.

False.  NFHS 4-41 note.  Fundamental 5.

325 - As the teams are entering the locker room at halftime, Team A's manager curses an official for missing the call on a last second shot.  Ruling: technical foul on Team A; indirectly charged to head coach; administer at start of third quarter.

True.  NFHS 5-6-4.  Casebook 10-4-1B.

326 - An official may suspend play immediately when necessary to protect an injured player, so long as the opposing team is not about to score a goal on a "break-away."

False.  NFHS 5-8-2 note.  The so long clause is not true.

327 - The clock should be restarted on a missed free throw when the ball touches either the rim or any player.

False.  NFHS 5-9-3.  Clock starts when ball touches a player.

328 - A dead ball becomes live on a free throw when the shooter releases it.

False.  NFHS 6-1-2.  If a player is legitimately shooting for a goal, then he already has a live ball.

329 - To start the first, second, third, fourth quarter, and any overtime period, the ball must be put in play in the center restraining circle by a jump ball between any two opponents.

330 -Deleted

331 - On a jump, the tossed ball must be touched by both one or both jumpers after it has reached its highest point.  If the ball contacts the floor without being touched by a jumper, the referee shall toss it again.

333 - A-1 is handed the ball for a throw-in at a designated spot on its baseline.  Because of defensive pressure, A2 reaches across the plane of the baseline and catches a short throw in from A-1.  Ruling: no violation, continue play.

False.  NFHS 9-2-2 & 3.  Casebook 9-2-2-B.  Simplified/Illustrated 9-2-3.

334 - After releasing a free throw, A-1 loses his balance and falls forward.  Before the free throw try touches the rim, A-1's foot crosses the plane of the free throw line, but does not touch the floor in the lane until the ball hits the rim.  Ruling: no violation.

False.  NFHS  9-1-7 & note.  The restriction is on the FOOT only being beyond the vertical plane of the edge of the line (also applies to all players in marked lane spaces), and ends only when ball touches ring or backboard.  Note: it is OK for a hand to touch the lane area.

335 - A-1 releases a free throw try.  Knowing the attempt will fail, he runs out the back of the free throw circle to play defense before the free throw try hits the rim.  Ruling: violation.

True.  NFHS 9-1-4.  Casebook 9-1-4-B & C.

338 - "Disconcerting" an opponent while he/she is attempting a free throw is a technical foul.

False.  NFHS 9-1-5.  Disconcerting is a violation.

339 - It is not basket interference to touch the net when the ball is on or within the basket, so long as neither the rim nor the ball move as a result of the touching.

False.  NFHS 9-11-1.  Simplified/Illustrated p. 67 9-11-1.

340 - During pre-game warmups, after the officials' jurisdiction has begun, A-1 attempts to rebound a teammate's lay up; he grabs the rim and shakes it, to "fire up" the home crowd.  Ruling:  technical foul on A-1; indirect technical on Coach A.

True.  NFHS 10-3-5 and penalty.  Casebook 10-3-5-C.  Simplified/Illustrated p. 78 10-5-2 penalty.
 

341 - After disagreeing with an official's call, three players on A's bench stand up, turn their backs to the playing floor, and attempt to incite the crowd to "boo."  Ruling: technical foul on Team A bench; indirect technical to Coach A.

True.  NFHS 10-4-1e, f, & g; 10-4-5 and penalty.  Casebook 10-5-G spells out that these kinds of multiple infractions that occur at same time should not be penalized separately.  One technical foul charged to Team A and one indirectely charged to head coach.

342 - A-1 and B-1 get into a fight; A-6, A-7, and A-8 leave A's bench and go onto the court but do not participate in the fight.  Ruling: A-1, B-1, A-6, A-7, and A-8 are all ejected for fighting.

True.  NFHS 10-3-10 & penalty; 10-4-4 & penalty. Casebook 10-4-4-A. Simplified/Illustrated p. 75 10-4-4 penalty.

343 - A-1 dribbles in the back court for 8 seconds, then releases a long pass to A-2 in the front court, which hits the floor in the front court at the 9 second count, and is touched by A-2 at the 11 second count.  Ruling: 10 second violation.

False.  NFHS 4-4-3; 9-9.  Casebook 9-8-B.  Same question as 291.

344 - The official shall signal to the scorer the number of points scored on a goal tending or basket interference call.

True.  Casebook 2-7-8.  Also signal when 3-point basket is attempted and when made.

345 - If the scorer desires to call an official's attention to a player who is illegally in the game, he/she may signal the official when the ball is in control of that player's team.

True.  NFHS 2-11-2 & 3.  Casebook 2-11-3.

346 - A bookkeeping mistake by the scorer can be corrected at any time until the final score is approved.

True.  NFHS 2-11-11.  Casebook 2-11-10-D.

347 - Once a ball becomes live in an overtime period, the entire period will be played, even though a scoring mistake which took place during regulation is discovered.

True.  Casebook 2-11-10-D.

348 - B-1 fouls A-1, who is entitled to shoot a "one and one."  Coach B timely substitutes B-6 for B-1; Coach A then obscenely voices his displeasure with the overall officiating and is called for a technical foul.  Ruling: Clear the lane and allow A-1 to shoot the "one and one;" allow any B player to shoot the technical foul shots, including B-1.

False.  NFHS 3-3-4.  Casebook 3-3-3-B.  B1 is not allowed to return to the game until the next substitution opportunity after the clock has been properly started after his replacement.  Any other substitute could enter the game to shoot the T free throws.

349 - A-1 is fouled by B-1 just after the ball leaves the referee's hands on the jump to start the first extra period of play.  Both teams are in the bonus.  Ruling: clear the lane and award A-1 the bonus free throw(s); next held ball, jump ball between the two opponents involved.

False.  Casebook 4.3.2.  A-P arrow is set toward B when ball is placed at A-1s disposal on the free throw line.

350 - Teams shall change baskets to begin the second half and at the beginning of any overtime period.

False.  NFHS 4-5-3; 5-7-1.  Change only at beginning of second half.

351 - Teams line up correctly for the jump to begin the game. Jumper, A-1 taps the ball toward her own goal. B-1 gets possession of the ball and shoots at A's basket from behind the three-point arc. The ball goes into the basket and the officials signal a good three-point goal. Team 'A' then inbounds the ball and moves it down court to the other end of the floor, where several passes are made and several seconds elapse before the officials recognize that team 'A' is on offense on the wrong end of the court. RULlNG- Take the ball to midcourt and give it to 'A', going in the right direction. Allow team 'B' to keep the 3 points that they scored.

False.  NFHS 2-10-1e; 2-10-3; 5-2-1; 4-5-4.  Casebook 4-5-4.  Here is what I would do, since all lined up correctly to begin with, and still in correctable error window of erroneously counting points.  Do as ruling suggests, except take the 3 points from Team B (erroneously counted) and give 2 points to Team A.

352- Player 'A-S' is dribbling in the frontcourt when he/she observes an open teammate near her. 'A-S' pushes the ball to the floor, forward to that teammate. The teammate moves to a new position without seeing the bouncing ball coming toward her. 'A-S' hustles to the ball and pushes it to the floor in a dribble. RULlNG- violation for double dribble.

False.

353 - At the beginning of a full or 30-second time out, team 'A' has chairs pushed out onto the edge of the playing floor where the players take seats around the head coach.  RULlNG- Legal if the chairs are removed immediately when the warning horn sounds.

False.  NFHS 5-12-5.  Simiplified/Illustrated p. 8 5-12-5.  All players participating in the timeout huddle must remain standing and in the vicinity of the team bench.

354- Team 'A' scores a goal and 'A-S' slaps the ball out of bound and toward a sideline. RULlNG- Team 'A' is given a warning for delay and Team 'B' is allowed to run the endline on their throw in.

True.  NFHS 7-5-7.  This is a new rule change this year.  This is not a technical the first time (just a warning) and Team B does not lose privilege to run the endline due to Team A action.

355- Prior to gametime, officials note that there is no "X" marked on the floor in front of the official scorer's area. RULlNG- Assess the home team with a technical foul, then have Home management place a "tape X" in front of the official scorer's area.

False.  NFHS 1-17; p. 2 comments on new rule 1-17.  For 2001-2002 season, tape may be used.

356- Deleted

357- Deleted

358- Team 'B' is wearing a 2 inch square patch on their jersey with the name "JOHN" written on it; in memory of a teammate who died. The patch is located on the shoulder strap, above the neckline. RULlNG- Legal since the patch is worn above the neckline.

True.  NFHS 3-4-16.  Casebook 3-4-16.

359- During a tournament, being held during the Christmas holidays, team 'A' players are detected wearing small "jinglebells" in their shoelaces. RULlNG- Assess team 'A' with a technical foul and have all bells removed due to a safety hazard.

False.  NFHS 3-5.  Casebook 3-5-A.  Not a technical foul, just illegal equipment that must be removed before playing.  Jinglebells are unnatural equipment and not appropriate for playing basketball.

360- DDeleted

361- Player 'A-5' asks the officials to be allowed to wear a headband which is made of leather. RULlNG- The headband is not legal; 'A-S' may not wear it in the game.

False.  NFHS 3-5-2 exception 2.  This is OK if it is soft leather.

362- Substitute 'A-5' reports to the scorer to replace player 'A-4' and awaits entry into the game. U-1 beckons 'A-S' onto the court. 'A-4' curses the officials as he leaves the court. RULING- Charge 'A-4' with a technical foul, and the head coach of 'A' is charged with an indirect technical, since 'A-4' is now bench personnel.

True.  NFHS 3-3-3; 10-4-1 a & c & penalty.  Casebook 4-34-3 (c); 10-4-1-A.  When A5 is beckoned onto court, A4 became bench personnel.

363- The head coach of team 'A' uses a rolled up program as a makeshift megaphone to shout instructions to his players. RULlNG- legal.

True.  Casebook 10-1-3-A.  This is OK and legal.

364- Smithville High has computerized sound system that plays "Charge Smithville, on to victory", immediately after each made home team basket. RULING- legal, since the ball becomes dead when a goal is successful.

False.  NFHS 1-18.  Casebook page 2 comments on 1-18.  Have the game management turnoff the sound effects.

365- A substitute who desires to enter shall report to the scorers, giving his/her number and the number of the player who is being replaced.

False.  NFHS 3-3-1.  Rule change this year means reporting sub does not have to give number of player being replaced, only his/her own number.

366- A successful tap could score 3 points.

True.  NFHS  5-2-1.  Big time tap!

367- The score is Team 'A'-62 and team '8'-61 when the horn sounds to end the 4th quarter. Prior the U-2's leaving the visual confines of the playing area, team 'A's head coach directs an obscene gesture toward him. RULING- The game is final; team 'A' wins, since the referee has already exited to his dressing room.

False.  NFHS 2-2-4.  Casebook 2-2-4-A.  Rule change this year.  Score is not final until ALL officials leave vicinity of the court.  U2 can (and should) penalize.  Go back to court, shoot 2 free throws to see if Team B loses, wins, or gets to keep playing in overtime.

368- The 'X' located on the floor, in front of the scorer, MUST be WHITE in color.

False.  NFHS 1-17.  No specific color is mentioned.  Assume it should be contrasting.

369- Player 'A-5' becomes confused and throws the ball into '8's' basket from beyond the three point arc. RULING- Award the ball to team '8' for a throw in, and '8' may 'run' the baseline on the throw in.

False.  NFHS 5-2-1; 7-5-7.  Casebook 5-2-3.  Two points scored for Team B.  Blow whistle, award ball to Team A for a throw in, and team A may run the end line.

370- Player 'A-5' throws the ball in from his back court, to a teammate who is just past midcourt. The ball ricochets off the teammate's head and enters 'A-'s basket. RULING- Award 'A' a three point goal, since the teammate was beyond the 3 point arc.

True.  NFHS 5-2-1 and Casebook 5-2-1-Dsays the 3-point goal counts.  See also Casebook p. 3 Comments on 5-2-1.  The rule change this year removes the need to determine whether or not the ball in flight was a try or not.

371- On the jump to start the game, 'A-5' forcefully taps the ball toward his own basket. The ball rebounds off the backboard and into 'A's' goal. RULING- 'A-5's goal counts for 3 points.

True.  Same rationale as question 370.NFHS 5-2-1 and Casebook 5-2-1-Dsays the 3-point goal counts.  See also Casebook p. 3 Comments on 5-2-1.

372- On the jump to start the game, 'A-5' forcefully taps the ball toward his own basket. The ball bounces off the floor and into the basket. RULING- Award 'A' a three point goal.

False.  NFHS 5-1-1; 5-2-1.  Casebook 5-1-1-A; 5-2-1-D.  Once the ball hits the floor it is not longer a try or shot; however, when it goes through the basket it scores 2 points.

373- It is possible to play an entire basketball game and NEVER have a jump ball situation.

True.  NFHS 6-1-2 note.  Could have a technical foul before the game and start with free throws and a throw in that starts the A-P procedure.

374- Deleted
375-Deleted

376- During halftime in a girls game,(the first of two games), male players from the visiting team move onto the floor and begin shooting. Some members are in uniform, some have warm up pants and shirts on, and some are in regular "street clothes." The Referee moves onto the floor and tells all members that are not in uniform to leave the floor. RULING- Legal action since the officials' jurisdiction began 10 minutes prior to the beginning of the first game.

False.  NFHS 2-2-2.  Officials jurisdiction begins when they get on the floor, which should be at least 15 minutes (not 10 minutes) before the game begins.

377- Basketballs, to be legal for game play, must have the NFHS Authenticating Mark, and must be made of leather.

False.  NFHS 1-12.  Simplified/Illustrated p. 10 1-12-1g and 1-12.  The ball does not have to be made of leather.
378- Deleted

379- Deleted

380- Head coaches are responsible for the actions of all his fans, team members, and team personnel, even when his team is the visiting team.

 False.  NFHS 10-4-5.  The head coach is responsiblefor the conduct and behavior of subs, disqualified team members, and all other bench personnel(& will be assessed an indirect technical foul if one of them receives a technical).  This is not true concerning fans.  However, a team technical may be assessed (even to the visiting team) if supporters interfere with the game (NFHS 2-8-1 note), but the coach is not charged an indirect T.

N EW QUESTIONS FOR 2002-2003 (#381-405)

381- Player A-1 has position in the free throw lane, as A-2 is dribbling the ball in his/her front court.  A-2ís dribble gets loose after deflection off his/her foot.  A-1 remains in the lane for more than three seconds.  RULING:  Three second violation on A-1.

True.  NFHS 4-15-6; 9-7.  CB 9-7 (p. 4).

382- Player A-1, has dribbled in his/her free throw lane for 2 seconds and then has the ball deflect off his/her foot.  Several players dive onto the floor in an attempt to gain possession of the ball.  RULING:  No three second violation will be called on A-1 since he/she has lost possession.

False.  NFHS 4-15-6; 9-7.

383- During the first of two free throws by A-1, opponent B-1 leaps up and slaps the ball off the rim.  RULING:  Award A-1 the one point score, then A-1 is assessed a technical foul.  Team ìAî will be awarded two free throws and the ball at mid court.

False.  NFHS 9-11.  CB 10-3-11 (p. 5); 9-11-2.  Only a violation:  award 1 point, and then line players up to shoot the second free throw and continue as normal.

384- During the first of two free throws by A-1, teammate A-2 leaps up and slaps the ball off the rim.  RULING:  Award A-1 the one point score.  Allow A-1 to shoot the second free throw with the lanes cleared.  Player A-2 will be assessed a technical foul.  Any  member of team ìBî will then be given two free throws and the ball at mid court.

False.  NFHS 9-11.  CB 10-3-11 (p. 5).  No point awarded.  Shoot second free throw with lanes occupied and continue playing as normal.

385- The ball has been released on a field goal try or tap by A-1 towards Aís basket, when A-2 excessively swings his/her elbows and makes contact with B-2.  The basket does not count as the ball became dead when the foul occurred.

False.  NFHS 6-7-7 with Exception 1.  This is a FOUL (contact occured), not a VIOLATION (no contact).  If no contact had been made, then it would be a true statement per "Exception 4" in NFHS 6-7; CB 9.13.1óno basket; ball becomes dead when violation occurs.  It does not become dead immediately with the foul occurs while a try is in flight.

386- The ball has been released on a field goal try or tap by A-1 towards Aís basket, when B-2 excessively swings his/her elbows and makes contact with A-2.  The ball goes through the basket.  A personal foul is called on B-2.  The basket counts since the ball had been released by A-1 prior to the foul.

True.  NFHS 6-7-7 with Exception 1.  It would also count if A-1 had not released the ball but had started his try (see Exception 3).

387- The ball has been released on a successful field goal try or tap by A-1, toward Aís basket, when A-2 excessively swings his/her elbows but does not make any contact.  RULING:  Violation on A-2.  Award A-1 the points since the violation occurred after the release.  Team ìBî is awarded the ball for a throw in anywhere along the end line.

False.  NFHS 6-7-7 with Exception 4; CB 9.13.1.  No points, Spot throw-in.  The ball becomes dead immediately when the VIOLATION (no contact) occurs, but not necessarily when the FOUL (contact) occurs.
 

388- The ball has been released on a successful field goal try or tap by A-1, towards Aís basket, when B-2 excessively swings his/her elbows but does not make any contact.  RULING:  Violation on B-2.  Award A-1 the points since the violation occurred after the release.  Team ìBî is awarded the ball for a throw in at a designated spot.

False.  NFHS 6-7-7 with Exception 4; CB 9.13.1.  All is true except Team A, not Team B, is awarded the ball for a throw-in.

389- As an official calls a walking violation, he/she notices that A-1 is bleeding from a scratch and/or has excessive blood on the uniform shirt.  The official directs A-1 to leave the game and go to the team bench.  Team ìAî then calls a full time out during which A-1 is attended to by the trainer.  RULING:  Since the official directed A-1 to leave the floor before a time out was called, A-1 must remain out of the game until the next opportunity to substitute.

False.  NFHS 3-3-6; CB 3-3-5 (page 3).

390- Player A-1 falls to the floor and appears to be injured to the extent that the coach is beckoned and/or comes onto the court to help A-1.  Team ìAî calls a full time out while A-1 is being attended to.  RULING:  Player A-1 cannot return to the game until the next opportunity to substitute.

False.  NFHS 3-3-5; CB 3-3-5.

391- On the jump ball to start the game, jumper A-1 leaps high and catches the ball.  The official immediately blows his/her whistle and calls a violation.  RULING:  Award the ball to team ìBî at the nearest out of bounds spot.  As soon as the ball is thrown in by ìBî, give the arrow to ìAî.

True.  NFHS 4-12-1; 4-3-1; CB 4-12-1 (page 3).

392- On the jump ball to start the game, jumper A-1 leaps high and taps the ball straight up.  Jumpers A-1 and B-1 then simultaneously grab the tapped ball.  RULING:  Jump ball situation; award the ball to team ìBî for a throw-in, since jumper A-1 had control on the initial tap.  Give the arrow to team ìAî.

False.  NFHS 6-1-1; 4-12-1.  No control has been established.  Must rejump at center circle.

393- Player A-1 has blood on his jersey.  RULING:  A-1 may remain in the game if his/her team calls a time out and the situation can be remedied before the time out ends.

True.  NFHS 3-3-6; CB 3-3-5 (page 3).

394- Player A-1 has been injured and has a bloody nose.  Team ìAî takes three successive one minute time outs before the problem is remedied.  RULING:  Legal.

True.  NFHS 3-3-6; 5-12-13; CB 3-3-5 (page 3).  The only time this would not be allowed is when successive timeouts are not allowed:  after expiration of fourth period or any extra periods, where only 1 timeout is allowed.

395- During play, A-1 fouls B-1.  At approximately the same time, B-2 fouls A-2.  False double foul.  Award free throws for fouls if either team is in the bonus.

False.  NFHS 4-19-9; CB 4-19-9 (page 3).  This is simultaneous personal fouls.  Treat like a double foul.  No free throws, go with A-P arrow at spot nearest the foul.  (Take your guess where if the spots are widely separated!)

396- While players are lining up at the jump circle to start the game, A-1 pushes B-1.  At approximately the same time, B-2 pushes A-2.  RULING:  Dead ball fouls: both fouls are technical fouls since the ball is dead.  No free throws are awarded.  Jump ball to begin play.
