This gets me back to the thread we had recently about a
player going up for a pregame dunk, then changing his
mind in mid air but ending up hanging from the rim for
"safety reasons". Some calls just beg to be made and you're
doing yourself harm as an official, IMO, if you give these
guys the benefit of the doubt. In football leave the helmet
on until you run off the field. In basketball stay off the
rims pregame. In baseball, as a pitcher don't pick up a
broken bat head and throw it at the batter as he runs to
first...uhmmm, wait, that last one's not a good example...
