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?
