Dunking is considered one of the most exciting plays in the sport of basketball--a chance for players to earn points with awe-inspiring displays of athleticism. A dunk occurs when a player leaps high enough to slam the ball through the hoop 10 feet off the ground. The Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) followed the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in the 1970s and allowed dunking during games. Still, the IHSAA follows specific rules on when and how players can dunk. Show Pregame Warm-upsThe IHSAA follows guidelines set out by the National Federation of High School Athletic Associations (NFHS). NFHS rules prohibit basketball players from dunking during pregame warm-ups. If a player does dunk during warm-ups, the team’s coach is assessed a technical foul. Coaches and players can be ejected from a game after acquiring two technical fouls. Dunking During GamesThe IHSAA allows players to dunk during games but draws a hard line on dunking while the clock is stopped or there is a break in the action. If there has been a stoppage in play or a timeout called and a player dunks, the referee can call a technical foul on that player. To dunk legally during the game, a player must grab the ball “outside the basket and cylinder.” This means players who have the athleticism to jump and reach a ball as it rests atop the rim or above the cylinder cannot legally dunk in that situation. In all other legal “live ball” scenarios, dunks count for two points. Technical FoulsAs mentioned in the previous section, a player can get a technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct for dunking during a break in play. Players can also be assessed technical fouls if they slap the backboard while dunking or hang on to the rim after an attempted dunk. This last rule caused some controversy in the 2009 Indiana State High School boys’ basketball playoffs when a player was assessed a technical foul for hanging onto the rim and then was later ejected and suspended for his team’s next tournament game. While in the AirThe NFHS, which makes the rules that IHSAA follows, reinterpreted rules regarding “verticality” after the 2009-2010 high school basketball season. When two players go airborne--as is typical when a player attempts to dunk over another player--neither player can initiate contact with the other player. NFHS’s interpretation states that the “offensive player is to be given no more consideration than the defender” in these situations. NFHS rule makers admitted that in the past “misunderstandings of this rule generally result in the defensive player being charged with a foul.” ballsinthebag All-Area 2,240 posts ballsinthebag All-Area 1137079560 I've seen Waupun do warmups and everyone on the team like runs around and jumps and touch the rim shouldn't they get a T theN? or since they're not snapping.... Remember---------- jwood902 All-Area 1,461 posts jwood902 All-Area 1137079920 I've seen alot of teams to that. jwood902 All-Area 1,461 posts jwood902 All-Area 1137085140 I think the main reasoning is that they don't want someone to break the rim and to keep players from injurying themselves. hoopsgalore Hall of Fame 7,543 posts hoopsgalore Hall of Fame 1137142800 kyle luckett does 360's and windmills as his warm up

At the wishoops preseason tourny dunking was allowed in warmups and the entire team from Mad West was trying to dunk and only maybe a 3rd of the guys actually could. It got annoying watching them. lysol_101_old Varsity 163 posts lysol_101_old Varsity 1137166500 when i was at the Vincent vs. Boys to Men game, some of the guys from Boys to Men were snapping the rim, but i don't know if the refs said anything to them or anything.... uhhhh.... it's so damn hot, milk was a bad choice! jimboud3 Varsity 156 posts jimboud3 Varsity 1137169200 Quote: Yeah, do you know how many 5'10" guys who can snap rim are going to try and throw it down in warm ups? I can give you one example....me. Nobody really cares if you think you can dunk... Quote: when i was at the Vincent vs. Boys to Men game, some of the guys from Boys to Men were snapping the rim, but i don't know if the refs said anything to them or anything.... They didn't get a technical because the refs weren't on the floor yet, therefore the weren't able to see anything. Bballa05_old Varsity 127 posts Bballa05_old Varsity 1137169440 One of our guys tonight got a T for touching the rim during warmups.... so maybe it's just for touching it??

Is it a technical foul to dunk in warmups?Pregame Warm-ups
If a player does dunk during warm-ups, the team's coach is assessed a technical foul. Coaches and players can be ejected from a game after acquiring two technical fouls.
Does getting dunked on hurt?Dunking is painful. There is a consequence for slamming one's hands, wrists and forearms against the rim. Falling from the sky takes its toll on the knees, endangers the ankles. That's not to mention the vulnerability of just being up so high.
Can you dunk in layup lines?You can, and players are smart about it. Come to shoot around early enough and you'll see players dunking during lay-up lines. If referees aren't on the court, players just kind of know. They typically just don't do it once the game clock countdown hits 20 minutes.
