T or no T! what do you think?

[Adam]

What if he was walking to his bench when the ball was bouncing right in front of him, then he grabs it and "bounces" it.

I think the height does matter. If the original post had a player grabbing it and "bouncing it" rather than using the charged term "slam," no one would be crying for a T. So, what's the height threshold for a slam verses a bounce? If the OP had the player throwing it down and it only bounces 5 feet, is that a T?
