Is Federation the only rule set which prohibits dunking during the warm up? You can do it in FIBA. What are the NCAA rules?
A player dunking in a game likely can do so and if they cannot, they might get pulled by the coach because it cost them points. You do not see players trying to dunk that cannot in games. In warm-ups kids might try several times and cause the rim to break more than once.

BTW, the rules at the NCAA level are the same. I do not give a rat's behind about FIBA rules because they might use a different financial structure to fix a rim and backboard.

Peace
