I would not
assume that a player in uniform who dunks is affiliated with the team whose uniform he's wearing. I would
infer it, just as I infer that everyone wearing that uniform is affiliated with that team. You do, too, JR, every time a sub comes on the floor. I would guess, JR, that you don't go to the coach every time a sub comes in the game to ask whether the sub's affiliated with the team.
A kid wearing a uniform is a good reason to conclude that the kid is affiliated with the team -- that conclusion would hardly be a baseless assumption. The inference can be mistaken, but it's still highly reliable.
I've been instructed to assess a T whenever anyone in uniform dunks during warm ups. Lately, I've had kids on the floor out of uniform -- some apparently younger than HS age -- and this situation worries me more.
