1. Situation: Team A is inbounding the ball from the baseline. In an attempt to throw a length of court pass, Team A throws the ball through the opposite baseline. The ball has touched no player, no backboard or rim or even the floor in bounds. Where will the ball be awarded to Team B.

Answer: At the spot where Team A attempted to inbound the ball

2. At what point during a two-shot free throw may a substitute enter the game?

Answer: Between the first and second shots

3. What was the largest jersey number that a player had in 2005?

Answer: 91

Ron Artest of the Indiana Pacers had the dubious honor. He wore the number 23 prior.
4. Team A deflects a pass out of bounds (and in the backcourt) through the baseline of Team B. After being handed the ball from the official, a player from Team B runs down the baseline to get a better passing angle. The official calls a traveling violation. Is this the correct decision?

Answer: No

This is a throw-in violation. A player has free run of the baseline only after a made shot. A traveling violation is called when the ball is in bounds and in play.
5. While taking the ball out under their own basket, a player from Team A passes the ball directly to a teammate in the backcourt. The official calls a backcourt violation. Is this the correct call?

Answer: no

Any ball, no matter where it is spotted can be thrown directly into the backcourt.
