This is a different situation. If it's obvious, and everybody in the place knows it happened, then yes, of course, you have to call it. But if the kid tries to dunk, can't quite get over the rim and clangs it off the hoop, you wanna call that? Technically, it's a technical. But rather than start the game by pissing everybody off for something that is marginal, let it go and tell the kid to stay away from the rim. JMO.
What I was refering to was the obvious, if he doesn't contact the rim or the sitch described here I would probably issue a stern warning and I would have my partner do the same with the opposing team so as to not show bias. I have actually thought about doing this just as preventative officiating as soon as we hit the floor. Any opinions on this?
