I know that it is a violation for players to dunk the ball or grab the rim during pre-game warm-ups, halftime, and between quarters. I had to access a JV team with a 'T' for that a few weeks ago.
Last night, the Varsity squad of this same school was playing. I was in the stands as a spectator. The team was out on the floor warming up. There was 25 minutes on the clock. The players who could, were all dunking the ball. The JV coach saw me and asked me why they can do it here but his team couldn't. The only answer I could give him was that the officials had not come out yet.
My question is...The officials come out at the 15:00 minute mark. Obviously the players know this. If the officials decided to come out early or came out to use the restroom or something and were off the court and saw a player dunk, would it be a violation. Do the officials have to be in their place on the court in order to have a violation?
