FOR the Rule: Lets say there's 12 kids on each team. 1/3 of them can dunk. Another 1/3 think they can dunk but really just grab the rim. If you go normal 2-line drills for 15 min warmups, and each kid gets 1.5 attemps per minute (guessing based on the amount of time it takes a kid to get through both lines). That's 360 chances that the rim/backboard could be damaged. Now compare that to a regular 32 minute game where there may be 2-3 chances at MAX for a kid to throw one down.

AGAINST the Rule: Since the inception of the break-a-way rims in the NBA, there has been next to no backboard or rims broken. The chances of a high school aged (and weight/strengthend) kid being able to break a rim or backboard is next to none. It also adds an excitement factor to the games which could potentially draw in more fans and $$$.

I don't attend games to watch a dunk contest in warm ups. Even dunks in the open court. What's the big deal? When a kid dunks on someone or makes a move in the post and dunks maybe then it will be something to get excited about.
Some people want change just for the sake of change.
Leave the rule as it is.

It’s become really hard to keep a topic going with healthy debate because someone gets their feelings hurt. If you think your team is 20 points better than my team that’s fine. Your allowed to have your opinion!
Now...pregame dunks.....I’m fine with the way it is now. We could make it a warning and not a technical

Exactly! When was the last time an NBA or college rim or backboard has been broken in warmups or game? And those rims are taking MAJOR abuse

One hell of a difference between a college board setup v a high schools set up.
