Why pregame dunking isn't allowed

[TriggerMN]

FWIW, pregame dunking is allowed by NCAA women's rules.

I bow down to the original poster. I am wrong.

Even if that is the case, the officials cannot penalize something when they did not witness it. For all we know it might not have had anything to do with a dunk in any way (unless that was reported).

Hunt's 30 points power Memphis to 12th straight win
Associated Press

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Jeremy Hunt's hot shooting and a smothering defensive effort gave Memphis a comfortable victory.

Hunt scored a career-high 30 points, including 25 and some long 3-pointers before halftime, and the Tigers (No. 10 ESPN/USA Today, No. 8 AP) limited UAB to 31 percent shooting in a 70-56 victory Thursday night.

...

The game's start was delayed about 30 minutes when one of the baskets had to be repaired after a Memphis player dunked during pregame warmups.

Good to hear there was a nationally televised stop sign.

It was mentioned in the other thread, but Coach K got a really good one on Wednesday night. I think he was tempted to drive through it, but he resisted.
