OK. I've just spent far too much of my lunch break reading this post - but here is my 0.2c

I can't see how you can possible T the V player for the dunk. He is not a member of the team. Likewise, instructing the bench to add him and then T'ing up the team for adding a player is ridiculous.

What happens if a fan from Team A comes out on the court at half-time, dressed in Team B's uniform and dunks? Do you assess Team B with two T's (one for the dunk, one to add a player)?

Lastly - who cares if players dunk at 1/2 time. I realise that the NFHS & NCAA have made this a rule, but it stinks. In FIBA it is a T to grab the ring in warm ups, but dunks are fine. Regardless the vast majority of refs give a warning (to both teams) the first time a player grabs the ring in a warm up.
