How much actual warmup would a bunch of high school boys get if they were allowed an alley-oop dunk fest to show off for the crowd before the game? And yes, there would be injuries, damages, showboating, and ill-feelings before the game even started.

Hmm, I don't know why you gave such a harsh, attitude laced response. But okay.

I hate to see that as well, it discourages legitimate questions. Not everyone here is a veteran of 20 years.
Anyway, I wonder how some define a "dunk". I have yet to officiate a real game yet so I haven't been in the position to call technicals for such actions. However, I've observed plenty of varsity warm-ups and seems to me there are some players coming awfully close. They "throw it down" from above the rim without contacting the rim...it's very close to the line in my opinion.
Where do some of you draw the line? Hand/ball above the cylinder? Contact with the rim? Just curious.

I know that alot of us guys in this fourm have alot of experience. But there are some guys who are just beginning there journey down this road.
And when they ask a question they are not asking a question just to ask it, they are asking a question because they just dont know.
We do not want to discourage the new official from asking questions because then they will get discouraged and never ask a question. And then where will that get us in this profession.
Just think abt how you would want your questions answered. Lets not give smart answers.

this is how i determine, act like you were watching a real game. When a person dunks the rim shakes and is pulled down.
if they jump up over the rim and just put it in, that is just a layup.
when there is contact on that rim like an actual dunk. you need to call that T
