Pietrowski is pretty good, for those who don't know. Coach for over 20 years.  Hard to imagine he would stand there watching his kids slam 'em down with the refs in plain sight. In fact, I know he wouldn't.  I think there are some regions where the officials blow their whistles to signal their arrival.

Then he should know better with 20 years experience.
I've tried to find the rule so I could quote it here, but unless I pay for a downloadable pdf, I can't find it.  And I'm not paying for it either.  I've asked about half dozen folks that are officials about this rule. 4 of them say it's against the rules to dunk during warm ups, and if the officials catch them, they call a technical.  It's clear cut.  Also, there is NO rule about the officials announcing their arrival with a whistle blow!!  (really?)

Pietrowski as head coach allowed this to happen.  Period.  He suffered appropriate consequences.  I DO have to say that the consequences were pretty stiff but they were appropriate.

Stop whining about it.  It's over and done.  So until the rules change, I'm betting Corbin will not be dunking during warmups anymore.
