1. A player shall not grasp either basket at any time during the game except to prevent injury.
2. A player shall not dunk or stuff, or attempt to dunk or stuff a dead ball.
Penalty = Technical foul.
1. This is rarely, and I mean rarely, ever called, especially as a percentage.
2. I have neither seen a T, nor anything else, called for that.
Let's face it, dunking and grasping the rim is a rule that is rarely enforced. I say eliminate it. Do not eliminate excessive grabbing, hanging, pulling, etc. but merely a grasp should be allowed by rule.
