I did my two at the tournament today, and then was waiting before I left, to see if there would be a partner for the next game. One team was jumping up, and grabbing the rim in warm-ups, and coming close to dunking. These were varsity girls. This was the tallest high school girls' team I've ever seen. I doubt any of the players was under six feet except one little shorty. Tallest was probably 6-6 or 6-7, several were 6-4. My partner was staying for this game, so he went and told the coach to keep the girls off the rim. Coach says, "You're joking, right? None of my girls can do that." Just as she finished the sentence, another girl gets a good enough grip to pull the rim down and it goes BOING! just as she looks up. The coach looked at my partner to see if he was buying, which he wasn't, of course. So she had to go out and shut them down. First time I'd seen that!
