Logic behind "no dunking in warmups"

The only problem I have with pregame dunks is when said team is using it as intimidation and just acting like idiots -- but the spirit of basketball and all sports are to have fun -- theres a lot of stuff that would suck if someone got hurt but thats sport...you get hurt

This sounds alot like the crap you hear from coaches and fans when enforcing the rules.

"Awe, come on ref, let the kids play, your not the show!"

I had a coach get angry with me because we had a T on a kid for dunking in pre-game warmups. He was actually angry with me because his kid was a dumb a**. Normally I try to miss it because it happens so rarely, but I was looking right at the warm-up and the opposing coach looked right at me like with the expression of, aren't you going to take care of that. I had no choice that time.
