You have a point with regard to girls dunking the ball during halftime of the boys' game, BUT,

lets get back to the pregame where everybody in uniform is the same sex. When "player" decided to warm-up with the JV squad, he assumed the risk, that if he did something stupid, the JV team would pay for his stupidity.

It is not the officials' job to poll all of the players on the court to see who is a JV player and who is a VAR player. Once "player" dunks a dead ball during the officials' jurisdiction, the die has been cast and the Rubicon crossed, especially if a coach from the opposing team has also witnessed "player" dunking the dead ball.
