That's what I was thinking.
When I first arrived at the forum several yrs ago, I asked a question about players hanging on the rim. Many dunks, I believe, end in players excessively hanging or holding on the rim (mostly at the college and NBA level).....and we're talking grasping and holding, swinging, nearly doing chin ups, etc., and they are very rarely called.
With experience, I learned not to be a plumber.
The play of which you speak, IMO, would happen very fast, and you would not be evaluated well, or move forward, by calling it.
You'll learn to let em go (or not).......I did.
