Of course said interpretation would be ridiculous. The decision to be made here is T vs. no T for landing on the defender.

Nevada's point is that by rule you can't call an unsporting T for contact involving an airborne shooter; even if the ball is dead.
I think this is a situation for which the rules are unprepared, as I'm pretty sure the gurus on the committee would prefer to see a T called for this action (even if you don't call it for hanging due to the player underneath).
Maybe it could be remedied by revising the denfitions so that a player is no longer an airborne shooter once he does a chin-up on the rim.
