SECTION 1: TRUE/FALSE QUESTIONS (Rules &

Q1. The ball is caused to go out of bounds by B1, who deflects A1's
throw-in pass that then touches thrower A1 in flight, who is still out of
bounds.
A) True
B) False
Answer: B
Rationale: When a throw-in pass is deflected by a defensive player and
then touches the thrower while still out of bounds, the thrower has not
caused the ball to go out of bounds. The ball remains live, and the throw-in
continues .
Q2. A ball which is in flight retains the same status it had when last in
contact with a player or the court.
,A) True
B) False
Answer: A
Rationale: This is a fundamental rule principle. A ball retains the same
status (live, dead, in control, etc.) that it had when it was last in contact with
a player or the court until it touches something else .
Q3. It is a violation if A1 causes the ball to enter and pass through the
basket from below.
A) True
B) False

basket interference and is a violation. The opposing team is awarded a
throw-in at the out-of-bounds spot nearest the violation .
Q4. A substitute becomes a player when he or she legally enters the
court to participate.
A) True
B) False
Answer: A
, Rationale: A substitute officially becomes a player at the moment they
legally enter the court to participate in the game, typically after being
beckoned by an official or during a dead ball when substitutions are

corrected and no change of team possession occurred, play shall
continue following the free throw(s) as though there had been no
correction.

change team possession, play resumes from the point of interruption after
the free throw(s) are attempted .
Q6. The ball is out of bounds if it touches an official who has either
one or both feet contacting a boundary line.
A) True

Answer: A
