Player Hanging on Rim....

No whistle?

Good scenario, but no whistle is correct. The missed dunk is a try, and like any try that strikes the rim and bounces straight up, it's not over yet. A1 is permitted to grasp the rim in the process of attempting to dunk, and as such BI is not in play due to any action by A1 during this try (unless he were to come down and then jump back up and commit BI before his own try ended).

If the try ends and/or if a different player commits BI incident to the dunk try, then we have a different story.

I'm going to disagree with that. While no technical foul, A1 is still responsible for BI. See 9.11.4a for a similar situation involving a defender. Also, 10.3.3 SituationB

Got a rules citation for that because I don't agree.
My understanding is that once the ball breaks contact with the player's hands the offensive player is subject to being penalized for BI if the ball does anything other than immediately proceed through the basket.

And there are Case Book rulings to support my thoughts.

Nope, my interpretation and I'm willing to be proven wrong. 9.11.4A involves a defender I believe, so I'd have to be convinced with some kind of NFHS or NCAA case play. I'm lying in bed so I'll take a closer look at this tomorrow unless someone beats me to it.

The only rule that exempts a player from BI is the one relating to dunking the ball....where the ball goes directly into the basket. It is deemed to have no impact on the play. If, however, the ball bounces up and then comes back down to the rim, it would be no different than any other rim contact during a try.

EXCEPTION: In Arts. 1 or 2, if a player has his/her hand legally in contact with the ball, it is not a violation if such contact with the ball continues after it enters a basket cylinder or if in such action, the player touches the basket. Dunking or stuffing is legal and is not basket interference.

9.11.2 SITUATION B: A1 throws the ball into the basket from above, but from
outside the cylinder. A1’s hand loses contact with the ball before the ball enters
the cylinder. However, on the follow-through, A1’s hand enters the cylinder and
again contacts the ball. RULING: Violation. It is not a violation for a player to have
a hand within the cylinder above the basket provided it is not touching the ball.
The rules do allow a player to carry the ball into the cylinder above the ring or
place the ball into the basket itself. It is basket interference; however, when a player
touches the ball or the basket when the ball is in or on the basket, or touches
the ball while any portion of the ball is touching the cylinder directly above the
basket and the player did not carry the ball into the cylinder or basket. (4-6)

The BI rule, 4-6 arts. 1 and 2, tell us it is BI if a player touches the ball while it is in the cylinder or touches the basket while the ball is on rim or in basket. The exception to these two rules says a player can have contact with the ball and "continue" that contact into the cylinder and "touch" the basket…."dunking or stuffing is legal…" The exception is to Art. 1 and 2 only.

When the missed dunk hits back iron and goes straight up the player can hang on the rim for safety. the ball is not on the rim or in the basket at that point nor is the player actually touching it while it is in the cylinder. No violation yet. However, if, when he lets go, the rim is pulled and it vibrates…and continues to vibrate when ball hits it--it is BI. That is article 4.

Finally, the exception simply makes it clear that dunking/stuffing is legal and you can make contact with the basket and be touching ball in cylinder while doing so. It isn't a license to continue that contact with the basket.

I only came back to this thread because you mentioned in the other one that you wrest convinced yet…. thx

Playing devils advocate here on the original post, but what if you believe that the hanging on the rim was primarily done to avoid fouling rather than for safety reasons, what would you rule to avoid "permitting an advantage not intended by a rule."

Perhaps this was how the evaluator arguing for a Technical foul saw the play.

If I watch the play and think safety is a possible factor I am not calling a T. I really don't try to determine the player's reasons. Frankly, the foul being avoided is likely landing on the other player or crashing into him. safer to hang.
