Here's an idea...don't grab the rim and momentum isn't an issue!
There's certainly an element of momentum here, but I think the player gives an extra something in addition to momentum...watch the left leg lag behind then kick up higher than the right.
I'm not saying I would have had the stones to call it given the situation, but I think the official nailed it.
