Dead ball dunking rule

I took a lot of flak for calling out Indiana #6 on this Tuesday. However the rule does exist. It is a class B technical infraction for any team member to dunk or attempt a dunk on a dead ball before or during the game, or during any intermission.

It was clearly a dead ball situation. He dunked the ball. Sure it is an obscure rule, but it is a rule, and should have been called. I noticed it, and I called him on it at least.
 
Meh, you're right, it is a rule. But I figure if the guy wants to risk injuring himself..............go for it.:cool:
 
I saw them call carrying against Jok recently. I don't think they call that nearly as often as they could either... Some things are worth getting bent out of shape over some aren't. That's a dead ball situation that affected absolutely nothing. It's an old obsolete rule couldn't care less if they enforce that.
 
I believe the point is that this rule doesn't have much gray area and it isn't enforced, just like the rule that states a defender cannot have both hands on the ball handler at the same time.
 
That rule only applies outside the paint. Centers can keep two hands on their man at all times.

That's not true! They can use a forearm, however.

Well, they used to call hanging on the rim, and they used to call it palming when your hand was on the side of the ball verse the top, and people did not used to type Meh, whatever TF that means. Life and BB has changed- MEH, whatever that means.
 
I was far more upset about the fact that Tom Crean spent more time actually on the court than our bench players did. :mad: I can't recall how many times I've seen McCaffery (and pretty much any other coach not named Izzo or Ryan) get told to stay back, or motioned back. There was one instance where he's walking down the sideline at least a foot onto the court and is maybe two feet from a player who is also walking down the court.
 
Why is it a foul if your hand brushes up against your man as he dribbles at the top of the key, but not a foul when you physically drive a guy five feet up the lane with an arm bar? It makes no sense.
 
well, if the refs called everything they were supposed to we'd still be playing the first football game of the year. Holding occurs on every play
