I just read this thread for the first time this morning; funny stuff.
What procedure do you guys use to T a player for dunking? Do you put the whistle in your mouth, put air in it and give a normal T? The first thing I do is find out what the players number is since most warm-ups (at least some of them) don't have numbers on them. Then, I go to the book and tell them what we are going to do. Finally, I go to the coach and tell them what we are going to do. At some point during this process I will find out that the kid isn't on the junior varsity team and I would tell him to get off the court.

If you give the player a T, does he have to stay on the bench since you've basically made him part of the team?

Why would someone care what the fans think about allowing a "player" to dunk? Do you care about what you think for the entire game?

It is also funny to see someone take an interpreter's word as the gospel but not someone else who could have just as much/more knowledge? Do these people go to interpreter school and they can't be wrong?

The T is the easy way out because it will be easier to explain/defend to everyone on the spot. Not hard to understand. Oh, and I have never logged a T in the book.
