1. In the first half during a Team A throw-in, B1 is guarding the thrower-in, reaches through the boundary line before the ball is released, and the official properly blows the whistle and issues a delay warning.

2. Following Team A’s successful goal, Team B inbounds the ball with 2:30 on the game clock. Team A is in a full-court press, Team B still has the ball in its backcourt, and B1 calls a timeout when the official’s 10-second backcourt count is at nine seconds. Following the timeout, B1 completes the throw-in to B2, who is in Team B’s backcourt. B2 holds ball for one second such that the official’s count is at one second. The official calls a 10-second backcourt violation. Is this correct?

1.  A1 is called for a common foul, and it is A5’s fifth personal foul. A1 properly leaves the game after receiving this fifth and disqualifying foul. Later in the game, A1 reports to the table to check back into the game. Neither the official scorer nor the officials recognize that A1 had previously been disqualified, and they allow A1 to re-enter the game. After a few minutes have run off the game clock and (a) after A1 had checked back out of the game, or (b) while A1 is still in the game, the scorer notifies the officials that A1 had been disqualified, but participated again in the game. What is the result?

a. B5 will shoot two free throws.
b. The game will continue with the AP Arrow and no free throws.
c. The game will continue from the point of interruption and no free throws.

3. Team A has the ball in its backcourt, and Team B is in a full-court press. A1 has the ball and attempts a long pass to A2, who is near the free-throw line in team A’s frontcourt. The pass is not a good one, is not heading directly to A2 and is floating in the air for a long time. Both A2 and B3 break quickly toward where the ball is coming back to the playing court. Both players are moving rapidly, jump and reach for the ball, and collide in midair. Both players reached that point on the court at the same time while attempting to reach the errant pass, and both did nothing more than jump in an effort to catch the pass. The contact is severe, and both players fall hard to the ground. Shall the severe contact result in a foul, and if so, on whom shall the foul be called?

4. A1 is fouled by B2 near the division line, and Team A is in the bonus. Prior to A1’s free throws being attempted, B3 shoves A4, followed by A5 shoving B3. Handle the Situation ?

5. A1 is fouled while dribbling the ball, and Team A is in the bonus. The officials fail to award A1 bonus free throws. Instead, Team A is awarded a throw-in. Team A completes the throw-in, and A2 scores. Team B inbounds the ball, moves the ball down the court, and the ball is deflected out of bounds by A3. At this time, the official timer sounds the horn as Team A’s coach has made an appeal to the official scorer to have the error corrected. Can the error be corrected, and if not, what is the result?

1. A1 has red pre-wrap around one wrist with white athletic tape wrapped around it. Additionally, there is writing on the athletic tape that says “Go Bobcats”. The officiating crew allows this. T-F

2. With time about to expire at the end of the second half, A1 attempts a three-point try, and the try is successful to give team A a one-point lead. There are still 5 seconds left on the game clock after the ball passes through the net. Bench personnel A6, A7 and A8 all mistakenly believe the game is over, and run out onto the floor to celebrate. Meanwhile, B1 has the ball out of bounds along the endline for the ensuing throw-in, but B1 is unable to complete the throw-in because A6, A7 and A8 are in the way while celebrating in team B’s backcourt. Which of the following are True:

3. A1 is fouled by B2 during a breakaway layup attempt. After the unsuccessful try, A1 gets in B2’s face and starts yelling at B2.

The following are true statements:

4. A1 has the ball for a throw- in on the endline in Team A’s frontcourt. A1 completes the throw-in to A2, but A1 remains out of bounds for a few seconds after releasing the ball. A1 then runs along the endline while still out of bounds, runs past A5 who is inbounds and is screening A1’s defender. A1 then re-enters the playing floor, receives a pass and shoots an uncontested shot. What is the infraction:

5. A1 is dribbling the ball and attempts to pass the ball to A2, who is near the sideline. B3 who is attempting to guard A2, step out of bounds to avoid a screen that is being set by A4, B3 immediately steps back inbounds and intercepts pass from A1. This is a legal play. T-F.
