And I can't for the life of me figure out what difference it makes whether the dunk was released prior to the shooter touching the rim.
I think a regular dunk would be 2 points. I think the dunk in the video would be 3 if it happened the way the video took place.

I think it matters if you consider touching the rim matters changes the status of the location on the court. I would also think if this was possible, the rules would change to make the rules very clear that a dunk would not be a 3. But it is not possible at this point without some technology that we have not seen yet.
