OK, I'll play. I say that depends.
Sitch 1: A-1 is without the ball near the basket in pregame. A-2 comes flying toward him. While A-1 jumps, he graps the ring while A-2 sails beneath him. Legal, as A-1 was avoiding injury.
Sitch 2: A-1 goes up the pregame dunk. As A-1 dunks, A-2 jumps to stop him. A-1 slams the ball home, then graps the ring to avoid contact with A-2. Technical foul for the pregame dunk.
