Watch the tape. He grabs the rim, then slaps the rim with an open hand. The way his body was moving, I would have (and I believe the L might have) given him the benefit of the doubt that he was trying to maintain his balance. But the slapping of the rim indicated to me emphatic/excessive.
I was not debating with you what happen on the play. Actually I do not care what he did because I saw the call. He grabbed the rim and was T'd up for it. That is good enough for me. From my point of view you are over thinking this. Hey, this would not be the first time this week for you would it?

Peace
