Call, it. You may never know who is in that gym watching you. It won't make the coach happy, but he/she and his/her kids should know better, especially in HS. I called it about two weeks ago, was talking to myself how I was glad that I haven't had to call that yet and not 30 seconds later the kid goes up and grabs and hangs on the rim. Coach was mad at me, I would have benched the kid for the game, but he was the first off the bench (maybe he was a starter). This is just stupid on the players part, they have known this rule forever. As I was walking over I heard his teammates yelling at him telling him he was getting a "T". Bottom line, call it every time.
