Thanks for the video tnolan. The second non-dunking hand on the rim makes this an interesting play to discuss.
For high school rules:
NFHS 10-4-4-A: A player must not: Illegally contact the backboard/ring by: Placing a hand on the backboard or ring to gain an advantage (“The Ralph Sampson Rule”).
Maybe he didn't gain an advantage?
NFHS 4-6-1: Basket interference occurs when a player: Touches the ball or any part of the basket (including the net) while the ball is on or within either basket. Exception: In Art. 1 … if a player has his/her hand legally in contact with the ball, it is not a violation if such contact with the ball continues after it enters the imaginary cylinder or if in such action, the player touches the basket. Dunking or stuffing is legal and is not basket interference (“The Bill Russell Rule”).
Maybe the 4-6-1 Exception makes this a legal play? But his left hand wasn't in contact with the ball?
