As in life - not everything is black/white; there's a lot of "gray".
Imo,it does matter how high the ball bounces. If it goes 10-15 feet in the air, then it's black/white to me. He's getting a "T".

That's why unsporting "T" are usually a straight judgement call by each official. Different tolerance levels.
I agree. If a player slams it and catches the ball its always a nothing. If he slams it and lets it go, 6 feet may be a no call. Above his head is always a T.
