I'm not sure I have a foul of any sort here.
I agree that if there's a T to be called, it's not for hanging on the rim but rather if you felt the action committed was unsporting. Not sure why there's continued talk about LGP or player control fouls. If we want to really go that route, I'd say a blocking foul because the defender moved into the path after Rando was airborne. Of course said interpretation would be ridiculous. The decision to be made here is T vs. no T for landing on the defender.
