I'm with you on this. PLAYERS know what a dunk is, WE know what a dunk is, so long as the dunk is not a "rim rocker" then I would not take notice. Common sense stuff imo

Not trying to be a jerk here, just wondering ...

What happens if you get a rim rocker during warm ups, properly penalize it, and the "offending" coach says to you, "What about the dunk THEY made 2 minutes ago? Why didn't they get a T?", referring to a non-rim rocker at the other end? Do you just not consider it a dunk unless it is a rim rocker? Or do you have a tool in your bag of useful responses to address letting a soft one go while penalizing the rim rockers?

Im not going to pick and choose dunks to penalize before the game. Its not that difficult to understand, if a player dunks in the warm-up its a tech. No matter which team does it.

If handled properly there will be no questions asked (unlike your scenario )
