NBA Rules Quiz

I don't know how I got them all right except #6, but here are the answers thanks to truehoop.com.


Answer #1: FALSE, because the game clock starts with the opening tap, but the shot clock starts with possession.

Answer #2 FALSE. You can have the substitution for the bleeding player, or the timeout, but not both.

Answer #3 FALSE. Under those conditions, you are allowed to advance the ball.

Answer #4 FALSE The NBA has decided this is a delay of game.

Answer #5 FALSE If the ball is touched on the court, time has to come off the clock. Ball should be inbounded near play.

Answer 6: TRUE -- for a Flagrant 1. For a Flagrant 2, the coach can pick from his whole roster.

Answer 7: FALSE Amazing, huh? With 0.2 or 0.1 left, they are looking for a tap-in. No review of made FG.

Answer 8: FALSE. As long as the ball comes from the backcourt, the play is eligible to be a clear path foul.

Answer 9: FALSE Trick question! It is NOT a correctable error. Player is removed when he can be, and that's that.

Answer 10: FALSE They have already used their legal substitutions.

  1. I only missed #3. I thought after the 2:00 min mark you could only advance the ball if you had inbounded to a player after a made shot then called TO. I surprisingly knew #6 and the rest of them. Admitingly I thought for Fla 1 or 2 you could only pick from players in the game.
