, Question 1
During a live ball, the lead official sounds the whistle for a foul on A1. The
center official, who had a better angle, simultaneously calls a blocking foul on
B1. The crew must determine the proper procedure. Which of the following
correctly applies NFHS/IHSA rules?
A. The lead official's call takes precedence because the foul occurred in
his primary area.
B. The center official's call takes precedence because he had a better
angle.
C. The officials must go to the monitor to determine which foul occurred
first.
D. Both fouls are recorded, but only the first foul is penalized; the second
is ignored.
Correct Answer: B - The center official's call takes precedence
because he had a better angle.
RATIONALE
Under NFHS rules, when two officials call fouls on opposite teams
simultaneously, the foul called by the official with the better angle and
primary coverage takes precedence. The center had the better angle, so
his call stands. Monitor review is not permitted for this judgment in
high school. Both fouls are not penalized; only one is administered.
Question 2
A1 is awarded two free throws. The first attempt is successful. Before the
second attempt, Team B commits a technical foul. How are the free throws
administered?
A. A1 shoots the second free throw, then Team A shoots two technical
free throws, and play resumes with a throw-in at the division line.
B. Team A shoots two technical free throws immediately, then A1 shoots
the second free throw, and play resumes with a throw-in at the point of
Page 2
, interruption.
C. The technical foul cancels the remaining free throw; Team A shoots
two technical free throws and gets the ball at the division line.
D. A1 shoots the second free throw, then Team A shoots two technical
free throws, and play resumes with a jump ball.
Correct Answer: A - A1 shoots the second free throw, then Team
A shoots two technical free throws, and play resumes with a
throw-in at the division line.
RATIONALE
When a technical foul occurs during a free-throw sequence, the
remaining free throws are completed first, then the technical foul free
throws are administered. Play resumes with a throw-in at the division
line opposite the scorer's table. Options B, C, and D incorrectly alter
the order or resumption.
Question 3
Which of the following best describes the correctable error window under
NFHS rules?
A. Errors can be corrected until the ball becomes live following the
second live-ball touch.
B. Errors can be corrected until the first dead ball after the clock has
properly started.
C. Errors can be corrected at any time before the officials leave the visual
confines of the court.
D. Errors can be corrected only if discovered before the next goal is
scored.
Correct Answer: B - Errors can be corrected until the first dead
ball after the clock has properly started.

, RATIONALE
NFHS correctable errors (e.g., awarding unmerited free throws, failing
to award merited free throws, permitting wrong player to attempt free
throws) may be corrected until the first dead ball after the clock has
properly started. Option A describes NCAA rules; C is too broad; D is
not the correct window.
Question 4
Team A is awarded a throw-in in its frontcourt. The official inadvertently
sounds the whistle while A1 is holding the ball out of bounds. The official
realizes the error. What is the correct procedure?
A. Team A retains possession with a new throw-in at the original spot.
B. A jump ball is administered at the center circle.
C. The ball is awarded to Team B at the original throw-in spot.
D. The inadvertent whistle is ignored, and play continues as if no whistle
occurred.
Correct Answer: A - Team A retains possession with a new
throw-in at the original spot.
RATIONALE
An inadvertent whistle during a throw-in that has not yet been released
results in no change of possession; Team A retains the ball for a new
throw-in at the original spot. There is no jump ball or change of
possession. Play cannot simply continue because the whistle stopped
play.
Question 5
A1 is dribbling in the frontcourt when the ball bounces off A1's foot and goes
into the backcourt. A1 is the first to touch the ball in the backcourt. What is the
correct call?
A. Legal play; no violation because the ball was not in player control.
B. Backcourt violation; Team A loses possession.
