10.3.3 SITUATION D is about grasping the basket
and dunking a dead ball.
A player shall not: Dunk, or stuff, or attempt to dunk, or stuff, a dead ball.
Agree about being sure that the player was aware that the period was over.
Famous college situation here in Connecticut more than forty years ago. Southern Connecticut State College is ahead by one point over Springfield at the final buzzer. After the final buzzer, excited Southern player dunks the ball to celebrate the victory over a New England rival before the officials had approved the final score and left the confines of the court. Officials call the technical foul, free throw by Springfield ties the game, which goes into overtime and Springfield ends up winning the game.
