Player Hanging on Rim....

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
