Answer 10

it prolly depends on where your from. in Mississippi you can in a high school game, but not in a church/recreational league.

some areas allow for dunks in the game, but not before or after the game, and you definitely do for hanging on the rim

Answer 11

I have never heard of a rule prohibiting "dunking" in high school basketball. However, technical fouls may be called for excessive hanging on the rim or taunting opponents.
