Heads up: opening this section reveals every question, every option, and the correct answer for this round. If you came here to play, scroll up and hit Play first.
Answer: B. The restricted area
Explanation: The restricted area is a specific semicircle marked under the basket. Defenders positioned within this zone cannot be awarded a charging foul, even if they are in a legal guarding position.
Answer: B. Basket interference
Explanation: Basket interference occurs when any player touches the ball while it is on or directly above the rim. This results in no points being scored, regardless of who touched the ball.
Answer: C. The ball must be released before the pivot foot leaves
Explanation: To legally start a dribble, the ball must be released from the player's hand before their pivot foot leaves the floor. Moving the pivot foot before the release constitutes a travel.
Answer: D. No, dribbling allows movement
Explanation: A player cannot be charged with traveling while dribbling. The act of dribbling inherently allows for movement across the court without the restrictions of a pivot foot violation.
Answer: B. It is not a foul
Explanation: The term 'over the back' is not a foul in the NBA. A foul only occurs if there is physical contact that displaces an opponent during the rebounding attempt.
Answer: A. Once a player secures control
Explanation: There is no three-second count between the release of a shot and the control of a rebound. The count only resumes once a player secures control of the basketball.
Answer: D. They can touch it if they return immediately
Explanation: A player whose momentum causes them to go out of bounds may be the first to touch the ball inbounds if they return immediately, provided they have 'something in and nothing out'.
Answer: A. No, contact must cause disadvantage
Explanation: There is no 'reaching' foul in the NBA. A foul only occurs if contact results in the ball handler being placed at a disadvantage, regardless of the defender's arm position.
Answer: C. Three seconds
Explanation: The three-second rule prohibits an offensive player from remaining in the painted area for more than three seconds while their team has control of the ball in the frontcourt.
Answer: B. Six fouls
Explanation: In the NBA, a player is disqualified from the game upon committing their sixth personal foul. This rule is distinct from the FIBA rule, which disqualifies players after five personal fouls.
