Pregame dunking - is it being well enforced?

I'm just wondering if perhaps there really isn't a consequence to this as long as the officials haven't stepped onto the court. NCAA rules say that the officials' jurisdiction to call infractions starts 30 minutes before the start of the game.

First, I can guarantee that both those games at major D1 programs were more than 30 minutes before the game because of how empty the arenas were.

Second, as Snaqs said, if I'm not sure, then it's not a T. If they are avoiding hand contact, then it's not dunking and it's not being a T.

Where are you trying to go with this?

There was quite a display prior to the large school State Championship game here. (Yes, the officials were on the floor.)

And?

And what? I was merely delivering facts. Are you looking for what action was taken?

The answer is absolutely nothing.

Wasn't there some (hotly debated) thread a while back where the Texas guys come to the floor and blow their whistle?

I'm not sure about the thread, but I can say that most in my chapter do indeed blow their whistle before entering the court.

It was taught to us as a suggested mechanic.

And why not? Special rules in Nevada?

Not really......

The rule has been in a long time. And in my experience it has and is being enforced fairly uniformly and universally. I am wondering if there was any reason why it would not be enforced at a state championship game.

What if the injured player's mom came out on the floor and dunked?

I may have gotten two threads confused.

Had the officials been drinking within twenty-four hours of the tipoff?
