Just saw this...

Cincinnati players jumps for a rebound dunk. Misses the dunk and holds onto the rim with one hand and dunks the miss while ball above the rim. C calls a basket interference. As he is the lead is running out waving off the shot calling the same. My question, Why is the lead calling this? Is there a mechanic in college game which calls for this?

I think it was in transition. C has first crack, L can come get it.

Good call.

By the way, if you logged into watch VB #5, you saw this exact play!

I thought it was in the half court, maybe not.

You may be right. I've been walking in and out of the room.

I happened to flip to this channel and saw just this play (weird isn't it). I had the same thought of why is the lead calling that.

Is that not a Tech?

Not if he was hanging on the rim for safety purposes.

Of course, but that isn't what the OP described. Besides, if you were hanging on for safety, would you be taking a hand off to dunk your own miss? Seems excessive and unnecessary.

I'm pretty sure this used to be 2 Ts (if not for safety) -- one for hanging and one for dunking a dead ball.

Of course, if you called 2, you'd have to call 3.

If someone's is under the offender, then it's for safety purposes. Instincts may have taken over and he reacted to the ball.

Yes. It's called the "get-the-call-right" mechanic. When it's THAT obvious, blow the whistle and make the call regardless of your positioning...

(of course, if you wait a few minutes, there will be an avalanche of posts disputing my last sentence)

Yeah. Because you may have heard of this. Different supervisors have different philosophies.
