Pregame dunk costs team playoff game

I was watching a game at Arkansas State a few years ago when a player from Western Kentucky shattered a backboard on a dunk.
It was unbelievable to see this in person, but the safety concerns were scary.
Several players were covered with glass, and fans several rows up in the endzone had glass on them as well. A couple of players were treated for minor cuts.


The incident in Montana could have been avoided if the officials had been on the court. During the playoffs here, we work a different crew each game. As soon as one game is complete, the next crew hits the floor.
Of course, if they worked the same crew in consecutive games, I can see where the crew would want to refresh a moment.

We have several school here that have seats in the end. I don't like them. Usually, the students sit there and give the opposing players and officials a headache.
