It's all about the equipment. Dunking wears the rim down, and you'd hate for it to fail 10 minutes before game time.
I've seen broken fingers, cut fingers, sprained backs, twisted ankles and knees, a broken wrist,a broken leg, and a player knocked unconscious all because of attempted dunks.

I'm sure it's all about the equipment.
I can remember one 15 year old child, who went on to be captain of a Big Ten team, who perhaps had never quite gotten it down yet - at a team practice, with his Dad there - he went up and landed flat on his back. There were a bunch of future high level players there, but he was the highest. The gym turned stone quite. He didn't move for 2 seconds, then got up with a big, adolescent smile . . .

Dunking, yuh gotta love it . . .
