Dunking in warmups

[Mike Burns]

Another question that popped into my head stemming from a conversation I had with one of our asst. coaches...he said that we would risk getting T'ed up if I was to "pat down" a starter in pre-game introductions...would this merit a technical foul (for taunting, I assume)? Seems a little strict to me... [/B]

I can't find a specific rule regarding the "pat down". As long as it is not an "in your face" type taunting situation...I guess I would have to be there.

The key here is that your coach is asking you not to do something silly that might earn you a Tech. Let your play make the statement to your opponent! Nothing says "Scoreboard!" like...well, the scoreboard.
