Some things are priorities and emphasized a certain way at that level, and some things are not. Consider how many T's you see called for players dunking a dead ball after a whistle, for example, compared to how many times (per game) it happens.

Given the Ts I've seen called at the D-1 level that have paled in comparison to this chin-up....

Bill Walton was right, though (some of the hardest words I've ever put together). If he just dribbles into the corner, that game is over.

This cost Southern Connecticut State College a win about thirty years ago. A celebratory dunk after the final horn in an apparent win led to a technical foul. I'm a little fuzzy on the rest but either the free throws for the technical gave the other team a victory, or the free throws for the technical foul led to an overtime, that eventually gave the other team a victory.

Looks like the Pac-12 agrees with those who wanted a T on the play...

JetMetFan beat me to posting this.

I was really pleased to see the majority of the posters in this thread stated that the action warranted a T. I would have thought that most of the usual posters would say they aren't making that call despite it clearly meeting the rule. Thanks for restoring my faith in this group!
