The evaluator has no rule basis for his idiotic comment. He is wrong.

The crew was correct to not penalize B5 with a technical foul since it felt that he grasped the ring to prevent injury. That is permitted. The rules do not specify offense or defense. Either team is allowed to do this.

The crew should have considered defensive BI, if the ball struck the ring on the shot and it had not yet returned to its original position. If the ring had returned, then nothing need be called.

Sounds as if the crew nailed this play.
