NDRef,
You make a very astute point. Added to that is Chuck's agreement, so after carefully looking at 10-3-12 and AR 3 directly below, it is only with respect that I can ask a couple of questions.
1. Would you agree with defining "during the game" as something like from the time the ball first becomes live until it becomes dead either with the sounding of the horn that indicates the expiration of time in the final period or at the end of a try which was in flight when it sounded?
2. Since the dunk in AR 3 occurs after the game, but during the jurisdiction of the officials, shouldn't this only be punished in a mens' game? Yet, AR 3 is not indicated to be men only as is AR 4.
AR 4 seems to make it clear that pre-game dunks are only punished in mens' games, but the failure to specify a gender in AR 3 (on post-game dunks) indicates that this is punished in both mens' and womens' play. The logic of this escapes me. The rules should be that either a T CAN be called during the jurisdiction of the officials or it CANNOT; having it depend upon the distinction of before or after the game seems flimsy.
