With breakaway rims, you really need to throw it down hard and hang on the rim for a while before you do any damage to it.

Just going up and dunking the ball will not break the rim.
Schools are laying off teachers because of budget cuts and you want to allow dunking in pre-game, where there's potential to do hundreds if not thousands of dollars in damage. It's unecessary and expensive when one is broken.

You couldn't be more wrong.
