As usual,
Roger MacTavish has included a few mind twisters on the refresher
test. Many of you found these to be no problem Congratulations. Still
some people failed to get 67 of the 80 answers correct and twice as many
failed to turn in the test.
The
“official” YES answers to the questions are as follows:3, 4, 7, 8, 9,
11, 17, 21, 24, 27, 31, 34, 35, 37, 38, 43, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 52, 54,
57, 58, 59, 60, 64, 68, 69, 70, 72, 75, 78, and 79. The rest are
obviously NO.
CORRECTION In
elaborating on the reason for the answer to Question 55 on the
refresher test I gave out some wrong information. A player control
foul must be a common foul. However, a common foul
can be part of a false double foul. (But not flagrant,
intentional, against a shooter, or part of a true double or true
multiple or simultaneous foul). Thus the answer to # 55 is fine, but
the answer to the case we discussed where A1 is fouled in the act and
then charges was wrong. The charge IS a player control foul and the
basket cannot count. (See Case Book play 4-19-8 situation A on p. 27)
Sorry for the bad advice and thanks to Ralph Steele for bringing the
goof to my attention.
After
consultation with some peers in several states I am convinced the
“official” answers are wrong for 2 questions.
In # 21 a
rebound is slapped around until it gets near the division line where a
member of the shooting team leaps from front court, catches the ball and
lands in back court. Rule 9 says that a member of the team “not in
control” may do this without penalty. This simplified wording was
installed 2 years ago to try to eliminate the need to list another
exception to the normal rule when they allowed the defense to intercept
a pass leaping from front court and landing in back. Since no one is
control on a rebound, the play looks legal to me and to the South
Carolina Athletic Association. I have brought this to the attention of
our man on the NFHS rules committee to seek clarification.
In # 64 a
player in back court FUMBLES the ball into front court, then begins a
dribble as it bounces. A FUMBLE is not the start of a dribble, so when
the ball bounced in front court and then was touched by the player in
back court it was violation. Everybody got credit for any answer on #
64.
Some of
the other questions that were missed more often are discussed below.
Interestingly, somebody missed all but 3 questions. Everybody has some
homework to do.
# 15
caused some trouble. If a player changes his shirt and reports it to
scorer AND referee, it’s OK (rule 10-3-1 says it’s a T not to report
change)
# 27 A
PASS to front court that happens to hit back board is still in team
control, so it’s a backcourt violation when touched in back court.
# 31 you
can have only 4 defensive players on the foul lane regardless of what
the offense does.
# 39 You
set the arrow when you hand the ball to the thrower-in as part of the
penalty for the intentional foul. If the rebound from the foul shots
would have been in play, then the arrow would have been set when the
ball was at disposal of shooter.
# 46
While the “resuming play procedure” is technically for use only after
time outs and intermissions, you would take the same steps for any
throw-in delay.
# 55 the
answer is NO because a flagrant foul cannot be player control, so a try
in flight counts.
# 73 The
“interval for replacement” of a player forced to leave the game is not a
time out. The warning horn is for the benefit of the coach, not a limit
on when a sub can report. Other subs can report anytime before the
required sub enters.
# 74
requires a little creative analysis. Rule 8-1-4 says the first lane
spaces“shall be occupied by opponents of the shooter”. If they have only
1 then 1 is enough.
A couple
of things about taking time outs to keep an injured player in the game
are worth mentioning. If a player is going to be replaced no time out
can happen before the required sub enters. This means that if players
from both teams are hurt and 1 team wants a T.O., but not the other, the
required sub must enter before the T.O. can be granted. This means that
the T.O. taking team gets more than 1 minute for its player to recover
or get the blood off etc.
Another
point is that if both teams take a T.O. they run concurrently. This is
true even if one T.O. is a 30 and the other a full.
We will
discuss these and any other questions at the Nov. 29 meeting @ Voorhees.
I
encourage you folks to get in touch with me with any questions or
strange plays, either by phone or email (Interpreter@NWNJBOARD168.ORG).
I’m usually around in the mornings.
