Do you always call a game by what you believe as opposed to what the rules actually say?

Just wondering.
Do you ever take the spirit of the rules into account?

Sure do.....and the spirit of the rules say that you can dunk a ball without the ball touching the rim. Seen it myself.
No, the LETTER of the rules states that. The spirit of the no dunking rule is that we are being asked to protect equipment and eliminate any possible taunting. What is the purpose of whacking a kid who skies above the rim and throws it into the hoop without touching the ring?
Something is wrong with your reply but I just can’t put into words to convey a good rebuttal.
