I'm not sure I have a foul of any sort here.
Hanging on the rim for safety is not the same as doing a chin-up, lifting up, or swinging around to land on someone. He gets to grab the rim for safety....anything more reopens the door for a possible T. And that was certainly more, even if he missed the player.
