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. B3 fouls A3 and A3 appears injured. The team A doctor leaves the team bench area, but does not administer treatment to A3. A3 insists he is able to continue participating. Team A has no time-out left in this half. Must A3 be substituted?

2. Team A is entitled to the alternating possession throw-in that will begin the 2nd period. During the interval of play preceding the period, a technical foul is committed by B2. Shall the 2nd period still begin with the alternating possession throw-in by team A?

3. With two minutes remaining in the 2nd period, B6 reports to the scorer as a substitute. Team A then scores a field goal. Shall B6 now be permitted to enter the game?

4. A2 is holding the ball in the team A frontcourt near the centre line when a three-second violation is committed by A4. Shall the resulting throw-in be administered at the place nearest to where A2 was standing when the violation occurred?

5. The ball is in the team B basket as a result of a field goal attempt by A3 when A4 contacts the basket. Is this an interference violation by A4?

6. Technical fouls are committed by A2 and then coach A. May either team substitute following the completion of the penalty for the A2 foul?

7. A5's shot for a field goal has been released but has not yet reached the basket when the 24-second signal sounds. The ball then lodges on the basket support. Team A is entitled to the next alternating possession throw-in. Shall an alternating possession throw-in be awarded to team A?

8. A final free-throw by A4 does not enter the basket or touch the ring. Shall a throw-in be awarded to team B at the free-throw line extended?

9. A3 commits an offensive interference violation. Coach A now requests a time-out. Shall the time-out be granted? 10. Team A is in control of the ball with three seconds remaining in the 24-second period when a technical foul is called against A3 followed by a technical foul against coach B. Play resumes with a team A throw-in. Shall team A also have a new 24-second period?
