Only if he's wearing 00.
Assuming the book sayz "0". I'd be more concerned if he was wearing "01." Is the official wearing a belt?
No belt as it's sub varsity game. Kid should be allowed multiple attempts cause he's in 8th grade and any 8th grader that can hang on the rim and repeat a dunk attempt should be allowed to.

Seriously though, how many of us put the "zebra press" on the team that's up by 30 (sub varsity) just to send the cute little girl to the line that obviously never gets to play and feel proud of ourselves for doing so...it's only after she shoots air balls that land halfway to the hoop and we've embarrassed her that we feel silly. I'll admit to calling "an official's time out" to tie my shoe or check on an injured player (only to find out the "injured player" had no idea what was happening) just to give a coach the opportunity to substitute his "career bench warmers") at the end of a game...one of the very few things you can do and PROBABLY not get booed - MAYBE!
