As Billy Mac said, you're going to have kids trying to dunk that can't and with that comes an increaded injury risk. Game versus warmups, here's one example: In warmups you would have kids, who can't dunk, running from half court, jumping, and trying to dunk. Are you going to have that during a game? No.

And I don't know where you got that you have to really hang on the rim to break it. That just isn't true.

Is Federation the only rule set which prohibits dunking during the warm up? You can do it in FIBA. What are the NCAA rules?

It doesn't matter. NCAA players are not HS kids. There's a higher skill level at work. There are plenty of rule differences between NCAA and NFHS and most of them exist because of the difference in skill level.

Am I not entitled to my opinion?

Did you not ask us what we thought?

"Anyone else think that the prohibition on dunking in the warm up is one of the dumbest rules there is?"
