Of course, if a coach/manager dunked, I'd call it an unsporting act under general principles and nail the coach/manager anyway. That's the spirit and intent of that rule as far as I'm concerned.

1) So you WOULD T a non "team member" for a dunk in pre-game warm-ups.
2) I think that is what the debate/question is here...you have a non "team member" dunking in warm-ups.

Well, actually I would T a member of that team's bench personnel, as defined in rule 4-34-2--"Bench personnel are all individuals who are part of or affiliated with a team,including, but not limited to: substitutes, coaches, manager(s) and statisticians."
2) A varsity player coming out of the stands is not only not a "team member"(4-34-4),he is also not a part of the "bench personnel"(4-34-2) either. You don't have to be a "team member" to be part of a team's "bench personnel", Dude. They're just different sub-groups of the same team. Iow, that varsity player does not meet the definition of anyone who is officially part of the jv team, according to rule 4-34. Ergo, treat him the same as a fan coming on the floor.

Fair enough...and I realized the two sub-groups you were talking about JR...I just think it's fun to beat a dead horse once in awhile.
Now, to further beat this dead equine...
at what point does the coach, in your opinion, have accoutability/responsability for people running around dunking during his warm-ups? (Assuming he is allowing this Varsity player to participate in the warm-ups)
