No where?

I just saw a missed dunk from a Kansas player that was a lot worse than the Baylor play we are talking about and nothing was called. And no foul was given either.

That's because it didn't happen.

Go to :29 of the video for the best look.

If I have to go back to the video again to see something I never saw in the first place, then it must not have been significant for me to say was illegal. There is nothing in the rules that says touching the backboard is illegal, especially when it is inadvertent at best.

Brad, you're making stuff up. What you hear is the rim snapping back. Her left hand gets caught in the net and never makes contact with backboard.

Not in my neck of this neck of the woods.

Interesting how divided we are on this one.

I say no. Elbows barely bent beyond normal swinging motion.

There are a hundred dunks a week in men's games which are this "excessive" on the rim and receive 0 attention.

Interesting. My NFHS 10-3-3 (2011-12) says...

(A player shall not) Grasp either basket at any time during the game except to prevent injury; dunk or stuff, or attempt to dunk or stuff a dead ball.

I see a notable difference here. Is yours from this year, JRut?

Yes, and this was an NCAA game not a NF game.

Right, but the OP asked...

Unsportsmanlike conduct isn't actually relevant to the rule, so what I believe he's asking is whether the act rises to meet 10-3-3.

My comments you responded to were not about the NF Rules. I was responding to Brad who was talking about the NCAA rule wording.

Not every comment or conversation is about the OP.

I never dreamed this would generate so much discussion. Very interesting.

BTW: I'm headed to the Baylor-Tennessee women's game tonight here in Des Moines. We'll see if she dunks again.

It's clear as day to me ... of course, others sometimes have to wait for another angle of the video to be shown that I am right —*like in the goaltending thread from a few weeks back
