When was the dunk reinstated?

Updated: 9/27/2023

The dunk was banned from 1967 to 1976 in College Basketball, according to Wikipedia.org. I'm not sure it was ever banned in pro Basketball, except that the players used to just lay it up rather than dunking in fear of retribution (in the form of hard fouls), if I remember correctly.
