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?
Can't be BI because the ball wasn't on or within the basket or in the cylinder when the player touched it.

If the ring was grasped, it's a "T". Rule 10-3-4. If the player gained an advantage by touching the ring while getting the rebound, it's a "T". Rule 10-3-5(a). Judgement call.
