2015-16 NCAA rule changes (Men's and Women's)

[Nevadaref]

"Removing the prohibition on dunking in pregame warmups and at halftime."

This is the one which stood out to me. Trying to get the spectators there early? Does the NCAA want to make attending a game more exciting for the fans by putting on a pregame dunk show?

Why do I imagine myself laughing for days if someone shatters a backboard during the pregame warm-up?

Could it be that they just want to take a load off the officials? Is there anything else they make officials watch for during those intervals? Is there an official time or some other way to determine when "pregame warmups" begin? Or whether an individual who dunks the ball before the game starts is subject to the rule?

They would be subject to the rule whenever the officials enter the court...different rule sets/mechanic would dictate when the officials are to be on the court...but really, you can't enforce something till you see it.
