    I’m inclined to call any shot that would otherwise be offensive interference a dunk. So a dunk.

    This is a great way of explaining the standard, or what should be the standard. Dunking is indeed "offensive interference" under the rules, it's just dunks are allowed specifically as an exclusion to the rule. Tipping a ball in that is still on the rim is still not a legal hoop of course.

    Edit: The video is supposed to start at the 2:58 mark, having trouble embedding it that way

    Bolden pops to the top of the key, receives a pass, and immediately makes a great read to see Zion has his man sealed inside (it happened so quick I'm wondering if this is a designed play). He throws the lob, Zion catches it and...then what? The ball went through the basket. Zion's hands were above the rim, and maybe touched the rim on the way down? Unclear. There's a noise, was that Zion's hand on the rim? I wish we had more replays.

    I've seen it counted as a layup in the ESPN box score, but as a dunk by CBS, by the NCAA, and by others.

    So, was that play a dunk?

    As I watched real time, I thought "that's a dunk, but there will be discussion about it." I still think it's a dunk.

    It was a dunk, but not a SLAM - Those were bouncing off the rim on Zion last night.

    I feel a little embarrassed, posting to this thread after a game in which we got outdunked 10 to 1. Though perhaps Zion not playing in the 2nd half had an effect on both of those numbers. In any event, just one dunk against Florida State, by RJ.

    So far, for the season, in 15 games:

    Zion 33;
    RJ 20;
    Marques 17;
    Javin 15;
    Jack 4;
    Justin 3;
    Cam 3;
    AOC 1.

    TOTAL: 96

    FWIW, last year's team had 99 dunks after 15 games, so this year's team is three behind last season's record-setting pace. At this point last season, Marvin had 40 and Wendell had 24. Javin had 10, Grayson had 9 and Trevon had 7. So (a) Zion is seven behind Marvin; (b) Zion + RJ are 11 behind Marvin + Wendell; (c) Zion, RJ, and Marques are four behind Marvin, Wendell, and Javin; (d) Zion, RJ, Marques, and Javin are two ahead of Marvin, Wendell, Javin, and Grayson; and (e) top five vs. top five has this year's team behind last year's team, 90 to 89.

    That was some dunk though. Feel like it was under the radar even when it happened based on the way it unfolded in transition, the announcers not really paying attention as it was happening, and somehow no foul getting called despite tons of contact that RJ dunked right through anyway. Then it got somewhat lost amidst the excitement of Cam's game winner. Early leader for underrated dunk of the season.

    It was a pretty amazing fast break, if I recall correctly, as it came right after FSU put down a dunk on us so it was a quick inbound to around half court and RJ just took off and beat the Noles down court. To be fair, though [again, if I recall correctly], I believe one of the FSU players had gone down near the 3-point line on the previous play (was it Forrest?), so they were a man down on the break... It wasn't one of those backboard-rattling dunks, but more of a ridiculously fast-launch, emphatic, "ain't no way you're defending this with a foul, because you ain't fast enough to get up in the air to foul me" type throw-down. I think my reaction was simply, "wow!".

    The other play that made me chuckle at the ridiculous athletic display last night was Cam's reverse layup (I think it was in the first half), where it initially appeared that he went up too early to try a reverse, but his ability to hang and his long arms made it end up looking so simple and fluid. I recall wincing when he started the maneuver, thinking a sure block was coming, then uttering a "holy [expletive]—that was pretty freaking amazing, for a layup!" Great to see Cam have such a phenomenal outing, given how his offensive game has been struggling of late [despite that, his D has been pretty consistently amazing].

    With Tre in the game, we had two dunks in five minutes. Without Tre, we went dunkless in 40 minutes. Coincidence? I think not.

    Anyway, two dunks against Syracuse, one each from Zion and RJ.

    So far, for the season, in 16 games:

    Zion 34;
    RJ 21;
    Marques 17;
    Javin 15;
    Jack 4;
    Justin 3;
    Cam 3;
    AOC 1.

    TOTAL: 98

    FWIW, last year's team had 105 dunks after 16 games, so after getting only three dunks total the last two games, this year's team is now seven behind last season's record-setting pace. At this point last season, Marvin had 43 and Wendell had 27. Javin had 10, Grayson had 9 and Trevon had 7. So (a) Zion is nine behind Marvin; (b) Zion + RJ are 15 behind Marvin + Wendell; (c) Zion, RJ, and Marques are eight behind Marvin, Wendell, and Javin; (d) Zion, RJ, Marques, and Javin are two behind Marvin, Wendell, Javin, and Grayson; and (e) top five vs. top five has this year's team behind last year's team, 96 to 91.

    Yes Virginia, there is a Zion Clause in your contract (or nightmares)..

    Game #17 - Virginia - Can you guess? Zion dribbles through 4 players, gets fouled on Right Hand jam - #1 on a Saturday night
    (16 SCTop10 in 17 Games)

    Bonus Highlight, they showed all of Zion's Slams, in sequence and count, in a montage, in the middle of the show, count was 36!
    Good math all around.
