As I've stated before, I wouldn't mind at all if the Fed adopted the POI procedure for technical fouls. Having said that, the pregame dunk scenario is one where giving shots and possession has very very little impact on the game.

Giving the offended team the ball for a throw-in is no different from the offended team winning the tap; they get the ball and the other team gets the arrow. The same thing happens when you give them the ball for the throw-in after the technical free throws; they get the ball and the other team gets the arrow. Big deal.

In fact, there's a slight advantage for the team that got the T, b/c at least they get to set up the defensive scheme they want to use, instead of defending in transition off the tap.

Just my 2 cents.
