Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. If happens quite often here. Just last year, we had a backboard shatter on a dunk during a high school game at a school that I officiate at. Three players were cut by glass, one of them so severely on the leg that he couldn't play for three games.

I think there is a difference between dunking and trying to destroy the basket! But that will be clear to everybody

Sorry but either will get you a T under high school rules in the U.S.
