Varsity player dunks during JV halftime

Why is there a rule requiring the officials to issue a T to a "player" dunking the ball during warm-ups?

It is classified as a Player Technical, but the rule explicitly states that it applies to all team members, not just players.

But, it is not my decision...it is what the NFHS (and apparently the board interp) wants...a T.

As I said earlier, it is not at all clear that the FED wants a technical foul called in this situation. IAABO has not issued an interp on this, as far as I know. And I know for sure that the MSBOA has not issued an interpretation of its own. There should be no such thing as a "board interp", if you're referring to BayStateRef's local association. Individual IAABO boards are not authorized to give interpretations that are contrary to the FED rules and/or state adoptions.

So why are you giving the "show off" Varsity player a free pass in the JV warm-ups, when you wouldn't in the V warm-ups?

Because as BayStateRef pointed out in the original post, the Varsity player is not a "team member" of the JV team.

there could be some confusion in the crowd.

And how would that be different from any other rule that is applied during the game? IOW, I don't give a rat's patootie about what the crowd thinks.
