When did in-game dunking become legal?

I have to agree. The arc-lovers say it doesn't allow people to draw a charge under the basket. Shouldn't the existing LGP laws (specifically, when the shooter left the floor) already take this into account?

My father-in-law played against Alcindor in high school. "I guarded his kneecaps," he recalls.

I'd T you up for that one, Billy, but I'm confused which character you just called Mark.

No....a player with LGP is still tagged with a block if they are a secondary defender in the restricted area....even if they were in position 10 steps before the shooter left the floor.

It is largely a product of officials not calling charges in the past in that area which led to more offensive attacks at the basket even though defenders were there. Then it became a "safety" issue for the shooters.....albeit one that the shooters were fully in control of. If people had only called the charges when they were there, we'd never have ended up in this position.

I think it it was a reference to the menagerie that was let loose near Zanesville, OH. Fortunately for Mark, Zanesville is closer to Pittsburgh than Toledo.
