Colonels_Wear_Blue 9,478 Posted March 3, 2019 There was some heartburn in the discussion last night about CCH dunking with a couple of minutes left in the game during their 16 point win over Beechwood in the 9th Region finals. I already have seen numerous angry tweets about Mayfield dunking today when there were 2 minutes or so left in their 12 point win over McCracken County in the 1st Region finals. So what are the unwritten rules governing when a team is okay to dunk in a game, and when they need to quit dunking in a game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mack The Knife 1,005 Posted March 3, 2019 Unless a team is dribbling the clock out in the final seconds, I have no problem with dunking no matter the score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GottaLuvFootball 229 Posted March 3, 2019 CCH JV player ended the Championship game with a dunk last year and I think it was ok in that situation. When you know the game is over, generally I think it’s better to dribble it out. JMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Identify 11 Posted March 3, 2019 I think it’s okay to dunk anytime. Just do not act like the other team should sit back and watch it happen. Both individual going strong to the basket. And, someone might get hurt. It’s to be expected. IMO I wouldn’t take that chance when my team up big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
16thBBall Fan 3,341 Posted March 3, 2019 Unlike college and NBA I think it is more rare in a high school game and a big deal for a kid in high school I don’t have an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Fundamental 21 Posted March 3, 2019 When the defense can stop it. Don’t understand why this is an issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jumper_Dad 8,945 Posted March 3, 2019 Dunk it the entire game. Hitters don't quit trying to hit homeruns with a big lead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PP1 1,116 Posted March 4, 2019 As long as the other team is playing solid defense any thing goes. I agree. If the defense is still pressing, then they are still trying to win. Dunk away but don't get mad if a defender does whatever they can to stop it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samcro 576 Posted March 4, 2019 Rip the rim from the backboard. And if you get a hard foul, so be it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jumper_Dad 8,945 Posted March 4, 2019 Shooting 3’s when up big bothers me more than dunking. If it's kids that only get a handful of minutes, it doesn't bother me. Run your offense, if the shot is open...take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
