Player Hanging on Rim....

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.
