Do I really need to quote the OP and bold and highlight all the times "dunk" appears again? Wow.
Question 1) How would you describe the situation you still haven't answered my question about to another official who didn't see it? If you say that you'd describe that situation without using the words I've bolded in the following sentence, then I'd like you to type out what you'd actually say. --"A1 was
trying/attempting or went up to dunk the ball, was right at the basket, and B1 came over and just took the ball cleanly away."
Question 2) If the player is not attempting to dunk the ball, then what exactly do you think is happening there?
You're essentially eliminating the word "attempt" in citing the rule for your argument's sake, without actually ommitting the word from your citation.
Question 3) By your reasoning, a dunk attempt only occurs...when? When a dunk is successful?
Seems odd that the word "attempt" is in the definition, then. If that were the intent of the rule, the word "attempt" would not appear in the definition.
Question 4) Is my assumption about your call correct in the situation I gave earlier?
