​NFHS Edition
Excellent Quiz by Goht VanDenBrink
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.
 
Q4: When the official counts the 10 seconds by hand, the 10-second violation is based solely on the official’s manual count. Even if the clock shows 10 seconds have passed, the violation does not occur until the official signals it.
 
Q5: With 8 seconds on the shot clock, A-1’s pass is deflected by B-2 and goes into the basket from below. What should the shot clock show after the basket?
a. 8 seconds
b. 20 seconds
c. 30 seconds (full reset)
