By the way, let's change this rule. Go ahead, assess the "t", but then jump it up. Why penalize the offending team so severely?
Let's say we have a pre-game dunk. NF rules state that we begin the game with two free throws PLUS a mid-court throw in. Now let's say "A" inbounds the ball, shoots a successful 3, gets fouled, and makes the FT.
The pre-game dunk has now cost "B", 6 points.
Yeah, that's a fair penalty for a pre-game dunk!
