Question 9
In the fourth quarter, the game clock shows 2:00 minutes or less. What is the maximum number of second-half time-outs a team can use in this situation?
Answer: A 2
Why
The textbook says a team may be granted 3 time-outs during the second half, with a maximum of 2 of these time-outs when the game clock shows 2:00 minutes or less in the fourth quarter. So the maximum is 2.
Question 10
What is the main difference between the under arm lay-up shoot and the extended arm lay-up shoot?
Answer: B In the extended arm shoot, the ball is released after the arm is fully extended.
Why
The textbook says the steps of the extended arm lay-up are similar to the under arm lay-up. The only difference is the ball releasing: in the extended arm shoot, you release the ball after extending your arm fully.
