Fun With Dunking ...

I originally didn't want to post this video on the Forum because I didn't think it was a controversial situation. That is until I later received the IAABO International Play Commentary. Disclaimer: For IAABO Eyes Only: Below is not a NFHS interpretation, it's only an IAABO International interpretation which obviously doesn't mean a hill of beans to most members of this Forum. IAABO International Play Commentary Officials should be aware that a player does not need to “hang” on the ring to be penalized for a technical foul during a dunk attempt. Dunking is legal. (4-16) However, players must not grasp either basket at any time during the game except to prevent injury. (10-4-3) In this play, the offensive player grasps the ring as he dunks the ball into the basket. By rule, this is a technical foul. Correct Answer: This is a technical foul for hanging on the ring. 4-16: Dunking is the driving, forcing, pushing or attempting to force a ball through the basket with the hand(s). 10-4-3: A player must not:Grasp either basket at any time during the game except to prevent injury; dunk or stuff, or attempt to dunk or stuff a dead ball. Note: About 80% of IAABO members (including me) that commented on the video thought that this was not a technical foul for hanging on the rim. Here was my comment on the video: Not doing chin-ups, not showing off, not acting like the daring young man on the flying trapeze, just catching his balance so that he doesn't break an ankle when landing. This is not a technical foul for hanging on the ring. https://tse2.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.J...=0&w=324&h=176 |
Glad I don't have to give a hoot what IAABO wants because there is not a chance in hell I am calling that in a HS or college game. I'm not a pioneer.

Not even close to a technical foul. I would get run out of the Chicago area if I called that a T. Hell naw!!!!

83%. State and local IAABO interpreters must be doing something right. |
What state was that about 18 months ago which had this issue during the state finals weekend? I seem to recall that a state interpreter issued a directive for all of the officials to enforce the rule in the manner described above by Billy in his IAABO missive.

Darryl Dawkins (NBA 1975-1989), the Philadelphia 76ers six foot, eleven inch, 251 pound center, in a game against the Kansas City Kings at Municipal Auditorium on November 13, 1979 dunked and broke the backboard sending the King’s Bill Robinzine ducking away. Three weeks later he did it again, this time at home against the San Antonio Spurs at the Spectrum. Thus, Dawkins became famous for his backboard shattering dunks and is credited for being the player to cause the NBA to introduce breakaway rims. Breakaway rims are now an essential element of the game of basketball. A broken backboard or distorted rim could delay a game for hours. In 1981 the NFHS adopted specifications for breakaway rims. Shaquille O'Neal (LSU 1989-1992, NBA 1992-2011) a seven foot, one inch, 325 pound center, was one of the heaviest players ever to play in the NBA. O'Neal dunked with so much power that he broke the steel supports holding backboards during games against the New Jersey Nets and the Phoenix Suns while playing for the Orlando Magic during the 1992–93 NBA season. This prompted the NBA to increase the strength and stability of the backboard supports and change the stanchion design for the following 1993–94 season. The NFHS added backboard support specifications to the rules in 1996-97. |

Then it was changed to a grasp that prevents injury to any player, the dunker (with, or without, players below), or the players below. |
