Wow...that was pretty high. My first instinct is that I would have left it alone. It almost appears his momentum carried his head over the rim but I don't think that's possible. He doesn't appear to hang...lets go immediately. So fast...no real showmanship other than the dunk itself...play on...but I see the point of those that vote for T being served.

Wow ...
He didn't jump that high with only his legs. He pulled himself up, in my opinion, unnecessarily, not to prevent an injury. Showoff. Technical foul.

They must not have very athletic players in your neck of the woods.

Why call a technical on that play. If you called a technical on that play at that point in the game it tells me, that you are not use to that type of above the rim play......

That is just an every day play along the I - 95 corridor......

You mean you have to be used to infractions to ignore them?

I see quite a bit of above the rim play at multiple levels, in a few States during the season. In my experiences, when their head is that high above the rim its usually before they dunk NOT after the dunk when they should be coming down. JMO

WHS^^^^^^^

Its is a specific rule that was violated. Not a judgement call unless you think he was protecting himself. He has a clear landing area with no players around him. I don't see the need for him to protect himself, so WHACK!

It still is a judgement call...heck half of the people replying said this is nothing, so that should tell you it isn't as clear as you're making it out to be.

How is is not a judgment call? Because you say so? Sorry, but I think the players great play to contort himself in a way to be on the other side of the basket. Sorry, still a judgment call even if you disagree with the way it was called.

Peace
