I'm with Rich on this one. If I see a kid do a "drop dunk" during warm-ups, I'm gonna warn the kid and tell him the next one is a T. If it's a rim rattler, I'm going to start the game with a T.
I had the drop dunk happen last year and the visiting coach asked me if I was going to give a T. I said, "no, the spirit and intent of the rule is to keep from having to cancel games because of bent rims."
The rule isn't because of showboating or they wouldn't allow dunks during games either. The way they protect rims during games is to have a T called if a kid unnecessarily hangs on the rim.
The coach was fine with it, not that I really cared since coaches only care about "the spirt and intent" of rules when it favors them.
