Anticipation and Decision Making 16 The ball bounces on the ‘Out of Bounds’ line that surrounds the court:

this is considered inside the court so the referees should allow the game to play

on. this is considered outside the court so the referees should call the out of bounds.

17

A player attempts a three-point shot. In doing so, his front foot touches the three-

point line. If the shot is successful the referee should: award three points as the line is considered as part of the three point area. award two points as the line is considered as part of the two point area.

opposing player. True False

sideline. The referee should: call an out of bounds, as the referee has part of his body touching out of bounds.

allow the game to continue as the ball did not touch a part of the court that is

out of bounds.

20

player may: choose which foot will become his pivot foot. not choose which foot will become his pivot foot.

21

A defensive player places one hand on his dribbling opponent and impedes the

dribbler’s movement up the court without removing the hand. The referee should: call a foul immediately.

use his voice and say “no hands” to give the player an opportunity to avoid a

foul.

22

The only way to be called for an unsportsmanlike foul is deliberate contact on an

opposing player. True False

23 A player is dribbling the ball. He falls to the floor. The referee should: call a travel. allow the game to play on.

24

A player jumps into the air to attempt a shot at goal. The ball leaves his hands, it is

then blocked back into his hands. He then lands with the ball. The referees should:

call a travel because the player went up with the ball and then landed with it

again. allow the game to play on as the player attempted a shot when it left his hands.

25 The act of shooting ends when a player releases the ball for a shot. True False

26

A player is dribbling the ball when he accidentally fumbles the ball. The player then

recovers the ball and keeps dribbling. This is a double dribble. True False

27

A player is attempting a shot when a defensive player, in an attempt to block him,

touches the shooter’s elbow and the shooter missed his shot. The referee should: call a foul as all contact on a shooter should be called a foul.

change the shot.

Mechanics 31 The trail referee is responsible for: the ball at all times. the ball when it is in his area.

32 When a shot is attempted the trail referee should:

Move towards the basket so they can see if there are any fouls in the rebounding

contest.

begin running back before the ball is rebounded so they do not fall behind the

ball if there is a fast break. 33 The ‘gap principle’:

Helps referees judge fouls by judging the gap between two players to see if

contact has occurred.

helps referees judge double dribbles by judging the gap between a player and

the ball he is dribbling.
