It was certainly a missed double dribble...
And it was a incorrect T - you are allowed to hang onto the rim if your momentum in completing the dunk swings you off balance. IF you pull yourself up - WHACK! That did not happen here. |

IMO, the MD player needs to be given a chance to get his body vertical to land on the court on his 2 feet without injuring himself; only he would know what his body is capable to land safely. He didn't "chin-up", lift his knees emphatically, or rock back & forth multiple times; his arms stayed extended through one swing "to prevent an obvious injury to self or others." |

I agree with the technical foul here. |

The key word in the rule is "judgment" as it pertains to what is excessive and emphatic, and that's even assuming the official was 100% convinced he was not attempting to avoid injury to himself or others. This incident was marginally excessive/emphatic, and I'm neither convinced now, nor was I convinced in real time, that the dunker wasn't trying to prevent injury to self or others. I respectfully disagree with the call based on the wording of the rule. |

I can see both sides, but personally I didn't like the T here. |

I did not like the T for this reason and this reason only. We see that all the time and no one has said that is something that needs to be called. Otherwise I can live with it, but would like to know if that is the standard. I see that dunk all the time and no one even the opponent bats an eye. But the double dribble is something I understand why missed as it is a quick steal. it should have been called, but I bet it was no easily seen.
Peace
