I could understand how you don't want anyone hanging on the rimm, but that's a rule all through out the game. What is wrong with people dunking in the warm up? Happens in NCAA games all the time. As I stated before, I would have turned a blind eye to atleast one of the dunks.

The rule is in place to prevent the backboard being destroyed before the game - thus causing undue delay. if it happens "all the time" in NCAA games, it better be before the officials arrive on the court. the rule is the same on the NCAA Men's side as it is in H.S. believe me when i tell you that college coaches have a much better grasp on the rules than their h.s. counterparts (they still "think" they know more than they really do) and if an opponent dunked in pregame and you let it go - if it was one that you really, really SAW - then they'll be on your *** from tip to buzzer.
