Rule 4-6-2 does say that it's BI and there's nuthin' in the EXCEPTION that says otherwise.
Gotta go with what's written imo.

As I said on the previous page, I disagree with your interp precisely b/c I'm going
only by what's written. What's written is:
1) a player (offense/defense not specified) is allowed to maintain contact with the ball in the cylinder if s/he first contacted the ball outside the cylinder; and
2) dunking is legal.
That's all that is written. There is no way logically to take that and read it as (1) applies
only to the offensive player simply b/c (2) only applies to the offensive player.
