Personally I ain't big on making up my own rules. That has a tendency to come back and bite you on the butt.

JR:

You are wrong on this one. If I walk on the court and see 15 players in uniform warming up and one of them dunks, he is getting a direct TF and the HC is getting an indirect TF. If the player is in uniform and warming up it is expected that he is a player for that game. Too bad if the HC tells you that the player is a VAR player warming up with the JV team. The VAR player is dumb and the HC is dumber. By your logic, Team A could have all of their VAR players warm-up with the JV players and put on a dunking show without being punished. The rule book states that is at TF to dunk a dead ball and the ball is dead during the pre-game warm-up period and if the players are in uniform and warming up it is because they are warming up to play in that game.
