TASO Test 2015

[Txgarza]

It going to be hard when we don't know what the possible answers were. Post the answer choices.

Sorry.

4th and 5 from the A-46 yd line. During the scrimmage kick, A76 holds an oncoming rusher at the A44. Team B subsequently returns the kick to the A-37 yd line.


a. Replay the down 4th and 17 from the A34.

b. Team B must decline the penalty to retain the ball.

c. The penalty requires post scrimmage kick enforcement.

d. None of the above
Explanation
10-2-4
 

[TXMike]

It is a Team A foul so PSK is not an option  - scratch answer C

It is a Team A foul that qualifies for "tack on" so b does not have to decline the penalty to keep the ball - scratch answer B

The foul was during a scr kick so enfo spot is prev spot so no way it can be enforced from A-44 (which is behind the LOS anyway) - scratch answer A

What does that leave?

[TXMike]

Dead-ball fouls by opposing teams do not offset. When the order of occurrence can be determined, the penalties are enforced in that order.

True

False (correct answer)

What about FS on team A and USC on team B? Offset these? Not a good question in MHO (as an educator)

  The way I read these type "questions"  (statements really)  is that it is an ALWAYS TRUE statement unless I can find an example of when it would not be true.  If I can find such a situation then the ALWAYS TRUE statement is false.  While you found an example where the statement would be true, the statement is not ALWAYS TRUE, so the correct test answer would be  F

Question #21

Full back A44 is hit and stumbles forward as some part of his body other than his hands or feet touches the ground. The live ball becomes dead and the official should sound their whistle.

a. True

b. False

Why I hate TASO test questions.  This is a False statement.  Yet the answer is True.  Please let me know everyone on here knows why this question is False?

Why are you saying this is a false statement?  Because it didn't specify that A44 is the ball carrier?

  The correct answer is TRUE.  If the program scored that as an incorrect answer than it must be due to a coding error.

Exactly they never said he was the ball carrier.  The whole the FB has the ball is critical to the question in determining an answer.  Which makes the statement False.  Period end of story.  Poorly written question.

If you got that wrong for that reason, you're reading waaaaaaay toooooo much into these questions. I never even thought that he wasn't the ball carrier.

My thoughts exactly!

Dude...please....The test is not written to trick anyone.  For the question to mean anything other than the fact A44 was the ball carrier would be a trick question.  If you would answer the questions quickly and not let your mind wander, you would have less problems.
