Just for the record, I'm the one with the gym key and I was trying to keep my buddies from bending the rim. They were definitely grasping.
10-3-3
ART. 3 . . . Grasp either basket during the time of the officials’ jurisdiction,
dunk or stuff, or attempt to dunk or stuff a dead ball prior to or during the game
or during any intermission until jurisdiction of the officials has ended. This item
applies to all team members.

What does it matter what the rules are? 
Tell the guys if they want to play, don't TOUCH the rim. STAY OFF.
Your responsibility has nothing to do with the rules.
