What did the crew miss?

A veteran official recently told me about a sitch that happened in his game.

A1 attempted a shot...A2 jumped and secured the ball, with one hand, as the ball was bouncing off the glass. (Not in the cylinder) As a result, A2 scored the FG.

Coach B was screaming that A2 had touched the rim with his off-hand.

No one in the 3-person crew saw this "touching."

Following the next dead-ball....curious, the official asked the player if he indeed "grabbed or touched" the rim. The player hung his head a little and said..."Yea, but just a little."

I asked the official what he did then...he said nothing.
I then asked him what he would have had if the crew had noticed the "touching".

He said, "basket interference."

I asked him if he might have had a technical foul.

Watta ya got?
