R.I.F. -- applies here just as much here as it does with the rule book.

If Nevada is implying I would make up my own rules, then I take exception. I'm just not sure he was implying that.
My ruling on the play: T for hanging on the rim. He gets to hang up there to stop from falling, but he doesn't get to throw himself onto another player. It says he may grasp it to prevent injury, it doesn't say he gets to play Tarzan while doing so.
I'll ignore the PC foul, just as I'd ignore all but one of multiple fouls committed on a shooter.
I think the rule is clear, if you're calling a foul for the contact, it should be a personal (probably intentional in this case). I also think the rule should be slightly amended, or a case play offered to give us clear direction on an abnormal play.
