(a) Write any three duties of a Scorer.
(b) During a game, two fouls are committed at the same time by two opposing players against each other. What will be the decision of the Referee?
(c) During a game, the attacking team made a move to score a basket and entered the opponent’s court. But the defending team did not let the attack happen. So, the attacking player passed the ball to another player positioned in his own court.
What will be the decision of the Referee?
Answer
Answer
AI(a) Three duties of a Scorer in basketball are:
1. Keep a chronological record of points scored (field goals and free throws) and maintain the official scoresheet.
2. Record all personal and technical fouls charged against each player and team, notifying the referee when a player reaches 5 fouls or a team reaches the bonus foul limit.
3. Record time-outs requested by coaches, notify the officials when a time-out is requested, and operate the alternating possession arrow.
(b) The Referee will call a Double Foul. A personal foul is charged to each player, no free throws are awarded, and play is restarted according to the alternating possession arrow with a throw-in from the nearest out-of-bounds spot.
(c) The Referee will blow the whistle and call a Backcourt Violation (over-and-back violation). The ball becomes dead and possession is awarded to the opposing team for a throw-in from the sideline in their frontcourt.
