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 the last two minutes of the 4th period, team A has been in control of the ball in the team A backcourt for five seconds when B4 deflects the ball out-of-bounds. Team A is then granted a time-out. On the throw-in at the centre line extended that follows the time- out, the ball is passed to A2, who is in the team A backcourt. Shall team A now have only three seconds to advance the ball to the frontcourt?

2. During the last two minutes of the 4th period, a travel violation is committed by A5, who is in the team A frontcourt. A substitution is then granted to either team A or team B. Shall the game resume with a team B throw-in at the centre line extended opposite the scorer’s table?

3. A4 jumps in an attempt to score a field goal. After the ball has left A4’s hand on the shot, it is blocked on its upward flight by B2. The ball returns to A4 while A4 is still in the air and A4 returns to the floor in control of the ball. Has A4 committed a violation?

4. In the last two minutes of the 4th period, team A has three time-outs remaining. May team A now be awarded three successive time-outs?

5. While team A is in control of the ball in the team A frontcourt, A3 is standing with one foot in the restricted area and the other foot outside the area? Is A3 considered to be in the restricted area?

6. Team A is awarded an alternating possession throw-in. After the ball has been handed to A2 for the throw-in, coach A is charged with a technical foul. Shall team B be entitled to the next alternating possession throw-in?

7. Twelve seconds remain on the 24-second clock when a held ball is called between A4 and B4. Team A is entitled to the next alternating possession. Shall play resume with a team A throw- in and the 24-second device shall not be reset?

8. A last free-throw by A4 fails to touch the basket ring. A8 and B8 are waiting at the scorer’s table to enter the game as substitutes. Shall A8 and B8 be permitted to enter the game at this time?

9. While the ball is in the air on a shot for a goal by A2, the signal sounds to end the period. After the ball has touched the ring following the sounding of the signal, it is tapped into the basket by A5. Shall the goal count?

10. While the ball is in the air on a shot for a goal, B3 contacts the backboard, causing it to vibrate. The vibration causes the shot for goal to be unsuccessful. Shall B3 be charged with a technical foul?
