Hanging on the rim

It was a no-brainer to all of us.

What was interesting was the coach’s argument. He knew he couldn’t talk about players underneath, so he insisted that his player had a right to keep hanging until he stopped swinging because he could break his neck if he didn’t. This wasn’t a flyer of an argument; he really believed himself.

Oh give me a break. I had to walk away. One of the dumber things I’ve ever heard a coach say. If dunking were so dangerous it would be illegal.

I think he may be talking about what happened in the first video of the OP of this thread (Which I don't think is a technical). If a player has a lot of forward momentum and his feet swing up in front of him, I'm not going to penalize him if he swings back perpendicular to the ground so he can land on his feet and not on his back. I'm not talking about hanging there for several seconds or doing a pull up.
