'T' not warranted???

[deecee]

wait till hes in the book then tell the coach that he got a tech for dunking during warmups. I dont think the warmup is only for 10 minutes before the game. Once the officials are on the court, for their game both teams warming up at their baskets are team members for that game whether or not the book is completed. If its clear a team member dunked he's getting a T. But then again this problem isnt so rampant that we really think its going to happen all the time. A huge majority know the rule, and unless its a really thunderous dunk most times a quick chat and warning gets the message across.

You're supposed to report it right away, in part to prevent it from happening more.

If it's borderline, I'll remind the player that he doesn't want to take the risk. But there's a lot of ground between no longer borderline and thunderous.

And when they do the line-ups and the person is not in the book, do you keep the T or erase it?

Normally, the book is done ahead of time. If this kid isn't a player, coach will tell me when I let him know (right after I tell the kid). If he saves that little nugget for when I check the book, too late, and I'll still charge him with the indirect; might just direct the scorer to add said player. Not sure about that, though.
