dunking in the warmups

September 2016, Ontario will be switching to FIBA with a few modifications ( federation timing, 35 second shot clock

and a few others). One of the other modifications is that dunking in the warmup will continue to be a no-no.

My question is what is the rationale behind this rule? I'm told it is to prevent damage to the rims and backboards. Would not banning hanging on the rims accomplish the same thing?
