So there were no BI rules? Or they were worded differently?

Before the Alcindor rule change, the BI and GT rules were basically exactly the same then as they are today, and the rule then also said BI didn't count on a "dunk". If I remember right, the BI rule was then re-written to say that you could drop the ball in from the cylinder above, but you couldn't "force" it down. Iow, it was similar to what's still allowed in pre-game warm-ups now. That's to my best memory anyway, Chuck. I've been wrong before.
