Player Hanging on Rim....

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)
