Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What are the two lines at each end of the basketball court?

Answer: Base Lines

Also called endlines.

2. What is it called when a person dribbles the ball with both hands at the same time?

Answer: Double dribble

A double-dribble is also when a basketball player dribbles the ball, stops, then dribbles again.

Answer: Yes

Even though the ball was touched by the defender, the offensive player was still in control of the ball. If he had lost control and regained it, then he could dribble the ball again.

4. In a middle school basketball game, an error is noticed in the home team's scorebook: one player is not included in the lineup for the home team. What is the correct ruling?

Answer: The team receives a technical

Though officials don't always follow through with this rule, this is the correct ruling.

5. When a defender attempts to block a 10 foot shot and touches it, while the ball is on its downward flight, what should the referee call?

Answer: Goaltending

When a team is shooting the ball, the ball is not allowed to be touched on its downward path providing the ball is (in the opinion of the referee) on its way to the hoop. A ball also cannot be touched by either team if the ball is on the rim.
