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.

I agree, but let's not pretend his upward motion after the dunk is due to his jump. Let's not pretend he didn't pull himself up an extra foot or two using the rim; the acceleration upwards is clear to me.

I probably wouldn't have called it in this showcase game, but it's still a spade.

Concur. I was taught that players will rise UP to throw it down, not the other way around.

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.
