You could be on the same page as me, but from reading this I'm far more lenient.
It's rare, but I've seen some really bad calls for "hanging on the rim." I'm giving players the benefit of the doubt if I ever think they're making sure there is a safe spot to land. Even on a fast break, all alone, if I'm dunking, I want to stop swinging and make sure there's no one coming up behind me that may have their feet somewhere under me.
Chin-ups and other actions like it are an easy tell for a T. However, some players could take longer to feel like it's safe to let go of the rime. No one underneath + not off balance doesn't necessarily equal a T for me.
