The rule is in place to prevent the backboard being destroyed before the game - thus causing undue delay.

Finally, I see the light!!! I could never understand the double standard (they dunk all the time in practice). I'm a little s-l-o-o-o-w.

what does dunking in practice (not on a game day) have to due with dunking in pregame? if they dunk in practice and tear up the backboard, there is time to fix it before a game is scheduled. if they tear it up in pregame, you may have to move game sites, you may have to wait 30 minutes to an hour for the board to be replaced and have everything cleaned up. i think it's a good, common sense rule.
am i missing something?
