I would think a live ball vs. dead ball situation would cause this to be different than say a ball that was in play.

Bob, don't get me wrong...I'm not saying I don't agree with you...I'm just looking for a little more clarification in case this happens in one of my games.
The ball is live when the thrower is handed the ball by the ref. By the time the dunker touches the ball, its been live for at least 1-2 seconds (depending on how long the thrower was holding the ball).
