Sorry guys, gotta agree to disagree on this one.
We're (or at least I'm) not talking about running over someone in the process of dunking. Think about it: B1 stands UNDERNEATH the basket. A1 goes in to dunk, clear path all the way...he dunks...and the only reason B1 gets hit is because A1 HAS to land SOMEWHERE. To me, that's lousy and/or stupid defense. A1 SHOULD NOT be penalized for this. If defender is standing IN FRONT of the hoop, absolutely call the PC, but not if he's UNDER the basket. That's a terrible foul, IMHO.
If A1 dunks, and makes some concerted effort to knock over some guy just to be a dork, boom, nail him. If he dunks, does the trapeeze and knocks a guy over six feet away, nail him. But rewarding B1 for standing right underneath the hoop is not good, IMHO.
