Q1: Right after the final horn sounds, Team A wins the game 62–61. Team A’s head coach claps sarcastically in the official’s face and makes an inappropriate gesture indicating one of the officials “missed the call.” How should this situation be handled?
Q2: In MD/DC, shot clock is 30 seconds, a 10-second backcourt violation occurs when the shot clock shows 19.
Q3: When the game clock has less than 30 seconds remaining (MD/DC 30-second shot clock), the shot clock is turned off. The official must visibly count the 10-second backcourt count using a hand signal.
