, Question 1
During a live ball, A1 is assessed a common foul. Before the bonus free throws
are administered, Team B's coach is assessed a technical foul. How are the
penalties administered?
A. Administer Team B's free throws first, then Team A's technical free
throws, then Team A receives the ball at the division line.
B. Administer Team A's technical free throws first, then Team B's bonus
free throws, then play resumes with a jump ball.
C. Administer Team B's bonus free throws, then Team A's technical free
throws, then Team A receives the ball at the division line opposite the
table.
D. The fouls offset; no free throws are administered and play resumes
with a throw-in by Team B.
Correct Answer: A - Administer Team B's free throws first, then
Team A's technical free throws, then Team A receives the ball at
the division line.
RATIONALE
When a common foul and a technical foul occur with no intervening
activity, penalties are administered in the order the fouls occurred;
Team B shoots the bonus first, then Team A shoots the technical, and
Team A is awarded possession at the division line. Options B and C
invert the sequence or misstate resumption, and D incorrectly applies
offsetting, which is not an NFHS/IHSA provision.
Question 2
A1, while airborne and before returning to the floor, passes to A2. The pass is
deflected and A1 lands out of bounds, then is first to touch the ball inbounds.
What is the ruling?
A. Legal play; A1 re-established inbounds position before touching the
ball.
Page 2
, B. Violation for leaving the court; Team B is awarded a throw-in.
C. Legal play; the deflection cancels the out-of-bounds restriction.
D. Violation for an illegal return; Team B receives the ball at the spot of
the violation.
Correct Answer: B - Violation for leaving the court; Team B is
awarded a throw-in.
RATIONALE
A player who leaves the court for an unauthorized reason and is first
to touch the ball upon return commits a violation; the deflection does
not negate the restriction. Option A wrongly assumes re-establishment
cures the violation, C invents a deflection exception, and D misstates
the penalty spot mechanics.
Question 3
During a designated throw-in, A1 releases the ball, which lodges between the
backboard and the rim. The alternating-possession arrow favors Team A. What
is the correct resumption?
A. Jump ball between the two nearest opponents at the center circle.
B. Team A throw-in at the spot nearest the lodgment; arrow stays with
Team A.
C. Team B throw-in; arrow is switched to Team B.
D. Team A throw-in; arrow is switched to Team B.
Correct Answer: D - Team A throw-in; arrow is switched to Team
B.
RATIONALE
A lodged ball during a throw-in results in an alternating-possession
throw-in, and the arrow is switched after the throw-in is completed.
Option B fails to switch the arrow, C incorrectly awards possession to
B, and A improperly uses a jump ball, which is not used for
lodged-ball situations under NFHS rules.

, Question 4
Team A scores a field goal with 0:00.3 remaining in the fourth quarter. Team B
requests a timeout immediately. After the timeout, Team B must throw the ball
in from the end line. Which statement is correct?
A. Team B may throw the ball in from anywhere along the end line and
may pass to a teammate anywhere on the court.
B. Team B may throw the ball in from the end line but may only pass into
the frontcourt.
C. Team B may advance the ball to the division line before the throw-in
because a timeout was granted.
D. Team B must throw the ball in from the designated spot nearest the
score.
Correct Answer: A - Team B may throw the ball in from
anywhere along the end line and may pass to a teammate
anywhere on the court.
RATIONALE
After a score and a timeout, the throw-in is from the end line and may
be made anywhere along the end line; the passing team may pass
anywhere on the court. The frontcourt-only restriction (B) applies only
in the final minute of the fourth quarter or overtime when the throw-in
originates in the frontcourt, and C/D misstate the spot and
advancement rules.
Question 5
A1 is dribbling when the ball bounces off A1's foot and returns to A1's hand.
A1 then continues to dribble. What is the correct ruling?
A. Legal; the foot contact does not constitute a new dribble.
B. Illegal dribble; the ball touched the foot and A1 regained control.
C. Legal; a kicked ball violation should have been called on A1.
D. Illegal; A1 must pass or shoot after the ball contacts the foot.
