New POE for next year?

The fact that it's covered in the rules has nothing to do with whether or not a POE is issued. The POE is for rules that are not being enforced correctly or consistently. This might fall into that category.

I realize that, but I do not see this as a big problem or something that has to be pointed out so that officials take action. Now the POE for taking out the jersey and those situations needed to be stated because it was something new in the past few years. I do not see that much dunking and seeing players yelling at the top of the lungs.

Rut,
Gotta agree and disagree with you. I don't see it as a big problem -- yet, but I think if it became a POE now (to quote the immortal Barney Fife) it would, "Nip it in the bud!" I also think they need to address players yelling at the shooter when going up for the shot after being beaten on a breakaway, etc. It's playground nonsense that needs to be stopped.

Couldn't agree with you more. This is my pet hate when refereeing. As my high school coach used to say - players that do this are too dumb/lazy/bad to be able to play real defense.

Thankfully this was put into the FIBA POE in 2004. It instructs referees to issue a warning if they determine that it had no effect on the shooter - subsequent occurances are to be called a tech foul.

JRut - watch this weekend; I guarantee you that you'll count at least six post-dunk screams by players this weekend. Hell, Noah even does it when the opponent calls a timeout after the Gators have gone on a 10-0 run (and he never enen dunked during that stretch!)
