I know Cavalier has new rims and they're way to tight.............

That is a really interesting point. I would be willing to bet that when the rims were put up, no one thought about adjusting the tightness, they just put them up and made sure they were level and at the right height. I helped put up all six backboards in our gym (when we switched from the old tin ones) and none of us thought about adjusting the tightness of the rims.

Knowing they can do it, I believe, is what is important to them. If we open it up for slam fest pre game then I think it will devolve into something.....well......NBAish.

A couple weeks ago I saw a left handed kid, in practice, go up for dunk cupping the ball like Michael Jordan used too. It definitely wasn't the easiest way to get 2 points. Would you consider that "show boating?"
btw he missed the dunkBBB_LAVARBALL wrote:How hard is it to get a rule like that changed? The players, i feel would be all for it. Nothing is wrong with a pre game jam session by a team. It would make warmups exciting and i feel would get younger fans more involved and hyped up for the game.
Changing the rule isn't hard, they changed the mercy rule after one year, but I don't think there is any push by coaches to get this changed.

I don't get this post.
in a nutshell... some teams (usually ranked in state poll) get their showtime....
the only person/persons who can apply the penalty/penalties are not around
so then does that mean they (person/persons) believe this will intimidate the opponent, for a game advantage?
some may think I'm trying to be funny or facetious................but I know this forum is full of Teachers Coaches, HS administration, Referees, etc etc and I am seeking answers and or info

I don’t think I’ve been to a game in the last 30 years where the refs have been out the first 5 or so minutes of warmup regardless of team ranking.

I've been to 10 games this year where the only 2 times they were not out was when 2 ranked teams were playing...have seen 2 technicals
with the tight rims in the one warm-up very very lucky no shattered glass, when the rim snapped back up...
Oh and I forgot to ask Flying Wallenda.....in your 30 years have you witnessed a Dunk in warm-ups or a T for doing one?

Jv game gets done, refs go down to get a drink, take a leak, visit, etc. varsity’s warm up - layup lines -dunking ensues. 5-10 minutes elapses - refs come back out, dunking ceases. Refs NEVER stay out the entire time during warmups. Personally dunked in warmup often, witnessed it, have seen a t from it but only a couple times.

not sure if this is a rule or just policy....in general, your description of a nite of ball, is for the most part what folks see...if of course they are even paying attention (not everybody watches arm-ups)....not to condradict or lets say debate but I'm wondering how does a T happen then?
and don't say "it happens when the refs do arrive"
