The following questions focus on the document, “FIBA Official Basketball Rules: Official Interpretations.” A free download is provided on the FIBA website (www.fiba.com). For additional clarifications, explanations or examples, please consult this document.

1. During a single unsuccessful free throw awarded to A2, free throw violations are committed first by B5 and then by A5. Shall play resume with a substitute free throw for A2?

2. During an interval of play with team B entitled to the next alternating pos- session throw-in, A3 commits a technical foul. Following the throw-in that begins the next period, shall team A be entitled to the next alternating possession?

3. A5 ends a dribble while airborne and comes to a stop by returning to the floor with both feet simultaneously. A5 now pivots. Has A5 committed a travelling violation?

4. After the ball is placed at the disposal of A4 for an endline throw-in, A4 holds the ball for two seconds before passing the ball to A5 who is also out-of-bounds at that endline. Shall A5 have

five seconds to release the ball on the throw-in?

5. A shot for a goal is in the air when the signal sounds to end the 3rd period. After the signal but before the shot for a goal has ended, A2 commits an unsportsmanlike foul by striking B2 with an elbow. Shall the A2 foul be considered to have happened during interval of play?

6. During an alternating possession throw-in that begins a period, but before the throw-in has ended, a foul is committed. Shall this foul be considered to have happened during playing time?

7. B3 commits an interference violation during a shot for a goal by A4. Shall the resulting throw-in take place at the free throw line extended?

8. The 4th period ends with the score team A 80, team B 79. Before the referee has signed the scoresheet, it is realized that a field goal scored by team B with 20 seconds remaining in the 4th period has been erroneously credited to team A. Shall the referee have the authority to correct the error and change the final score?

9. A disqualifying personal foul is committed by A5 against B5. B5 is able to remain in the game. May a player other than B5 attempt the resulting free throws?

10. A4 has the ball at his disposal out-of-bounds for a throw-in, when a fighting situation occurs with members of both teams being disqualified. Shall play resume with an alternating possession throw-in?
