Review NCAA Women's rules test questions and answers by season.
These tests cover officiating mechanics, procedures, and key rule interpretations.
A foul shall be ruled when a defensive post player does not immediately assume a legal position once the offensive post player gains control of the ball. Is this correct?
In the post, officials are instructed to rule a foul when the defender fails to promptly establish legal position after the offensive post gains control.
Appendix II — Officiating Guidelines (Post Play)
Item 6
"A foul shall be ruled when a defensive post player does not immediately assume a legal position once the offensive post player gains control of the ball."

Near the end of the fourth quarter, with the score tied, A1's try for goal in the corner is released near the expiration of time on the game clock. Time expires near the time the ball enters the basket. The try is successful. The officials use the available replay system and determine that the try was released before zeroes on the game clock, but the last foot of the shooter was touching out of bounds with 0.7 seconds on the game clock before the foot left the floor; however, when the ball passed through the basket, 0.1 seconds were remaining in the quarter. Which of the following statements is true?
Because replay shows A1 was out of bounds BEFORE becoming airborne, the try is illegal and the score is canceled. Award Team B a designated-spot throw-in where the violation occurred and correct the game clock to the time of the violation (0.7).
Rule 11 (Replay) – end-of-period reviews; last-foot OOB on last shot
11-2.1.a.1 / 11-3.1.q (as adopted in women's rules)
"Officials may review a last-second shot to determine whether the shooter's last foot prior to leaving the floor was out of bounds before release; if so, the goal shall be canceled."

Rule 7-3.2 – Spot of throw-in after violation
Designated-spot nearest the violation
"Following a violation, the throw-in shall be from the designated spot nearest to where the violation occurred."

A.R. 5–26 – Timing mistakes—correcting the game clock
Clock corrections may be made when officials can determine the proper time to place on the game clock.
Case Book, p. 48
During a missed try by Team B, A1 is injured behind the play. A2 quickly dribbles the ball into their team's frontcourt and drives to the basket, attempting to score. The officials permit play to continue until Team A ceases to try to score or advance the ball to a scoring position. Is this correct?
Officials should not stop an imminent scoring opportunity to address an injury behind the play unless safety requires it. They may stop once the advantage ends.
Rule 5-11 – Stopping play / timeouts
5-11.2 & 5-11.6 (injury and official's stoppage)
"Officials may stop play for injury; however, they should consider advantage and may allow an immediate scoring opportunity to complete if safe."

A.R. 5–24 – Official stops play for injury (timing/advantage)
No timeout is charged when the official stops for injury; resume when appropriate. Consider advantage before stopping.
Case Book, p. 47
With 1:02 remaining in the fourth quarter, B1, located in Team B's backcourt, steals the ball from A1. B1 dribbles twice and then passes to B2, who is also located in Team B's backcourt. B2 is still holding the ball when, with 58.6 remaining on the game clock, A3 and B3, located at the top of the key in Team B's frontcourt, are charged with a double foul. There are 27 seconds on the shot clock. Which of the following is true?
Multiple answers may be correct
A double foul results in a point-of-interruption (POI) resumption. Team B retains the ball in the backcourt with the **remaining** 10-second count (about 7 seconds left). Team B may take a timeout to advance; absent advancement, resume with a designated-spot throw-in near the **ball's** location when play stopped. The shot clock is not reset on a double foul with continuous team control.
Rule 6-4 – Double fouls; resumption
6-4.1 (POI after double fouls)
"After a double foul, play shall be resumed at the point of interruption."
Page 41
Rule 7-3.2 – Throw-in location
Nearest the ball when play stopped (POI)
"When resuming at POI, use the designated spot throw-in nearest where the ball was located."

A1 drives toward the basket defended by B1. At the end of the drive, B1 goes down to the floor. The Referee gives the faking being fouled signal for B1's actions while the Umpire 2 signals an offensive foul on A1. Until this point in the game, neither team has been warned for faking being fouled. Which of the following is the correct adjudication?
Multiple answers may be correct
Conflicting signals are resolved by crew communication and honoring primary coverage. If a foul is ultimately ruled on the play, you do not also issue a faking-being-fouled warning on that same play.
Rule 2 – Officials and their duties
Primary/secondary coverage and crew communication
"When officials have differing rulings, they must confer and accept the ruling from the official with primary coverage."
Page 33
Rule 10 – Class B technical / warnings
Faking being fouled (warning protocol)
"Warnings for faking are tracked; if a foul is ruled on the play, a faking warning is not also issued for that same action."
