Pre-Game Dunk/ T

[gsf23]

This happened at our first game this year.

As the opposing team was leaving the court to do their little pregame talk, their coach has them line up and they are supposed to run at the basket, jump and touch the rim. They go through this, but the last three players in line all jump, grab the rim and pull it down. After the third guy, the referee walked over to the coach as he was leaving the floor and told him that a T would be charged for grabbing the rim during the warm-ups, he then came and told me (we were still on the court warming up) that the other team was assest a T and that any of my five starters would be able to shoot the free-throws.

After introductions and everything, the horn sounds to start the game, the official turns to the table, blows whistle and signals the T, points to the other bench and we shoot our throws and start the game.
