NFHS Edition
Excellent Quiz from Goht VanDenBrink.
True/False
Q1: After Team B scores, B3 fouls A3 during Team A’s endline throw-in. Team A is not in the bonus. The throw-in will be at the spot nearest to where the foul occurred, and if it’s on the endline, Team A can still run the endline.
Q2: After Team B scores, B3 intentionally fouls A3 during Team A’s endline throw-in. A3 gets 2 free throws, and Team A gets a designated spot throw-in—no running the endline, even if it’s on the endline.
Q3: During a throw-in, the thrower may break the plane with their hand or foot but cannot touch the inbounds court before releasing the ball.
Q4: A defender slaps the backboard or basket, causing the ring to vibrate during a try or tap. This is now ruled as basket interference—not a player technical foul.
Q5: Eliminating the possibility of an offensive goaltending violation is one of the New Rule changes this year.
Answers:
Q1: True (7-5-7, IRG Play 9-4-4)
Q2: True (IRG 9.4.B, Play 9-4-5)— This differs from a common foul in Q1, where Team A retains the right to run the endline.
Q3: True (IRG 9.5, 9-2-10 Note) — This often happens after a made basket when a player rushes the throw-in with only one foot out of bounds and the rest of their body still inbounds.
Q4: True. With the removal of 10-4-4b, intent no longer matters—this action is now consistently ruled as basket interference.(New rule change 2025-2026)
Q5: True. (Rule 4-22-1 & 2 — This change reduces confusion over shot vs. pass and promotes more scoring opportunities.( New rule change 2025-2026)
Tips:
Officials who communicate clearly, support one another, and treat each other with mutual respect are more effective and more likely to succeed in this avocation. As the adage goes: Game comes first, Partners second, and yourself last. (Quote from TJ Holliday: Sportori
