Dunk and hanging on the rim.

I went ahead and added the clip to the original post.

If you haven't already, watch the video all the way to the end to see a good story officiating and the community.

Hope I look THAT good at 59.....especially since I don't look that good at 52!

Thanks but for some reason I cannot see the embedded version.

Hard to tell from the angle, but given the number of players around and the way he went to the basket, I'd give him the benefit of the doubt on the "prevent an injury" exception.

What is no one was around him? Would you have anything?

More likely given the swing-and-turn (as I recall -- I didn't go back to the video)

Not me. Not even a second thought. He changed directions, but it was fairly quick. Given these kids need to land, I'm giving every benefit of the doubt to the player.

We had a player hang on the rim last week after a missed dunk -- he really didn't have a lot going on around him, but he wanted to be sure he didn't land on someone -- he carefully looked around himself before simply dropping straight down. No showboating, change in elevation, or change in direction.

I was perfectly fine with this, as was my partner. The other coach, though, wasn't -- he ended up picking up a technical foul from my partner for his trouble. I think a good part of this came from the fact they were getting waxed at the time, though.

Closest thing to a T would be for taunting on his last dunk. Lot of jawing going on after the play.

Me.....probably not. It was very brief and nothing unusual for a basic dunk. It looked more like the result of letting go with one hand slightly before the other or not actually getting the rim frimly with both hands. Nothing wrong with that.
