Hanging on the rim

[ODog]

Great videos!

1.) Nothing. Kid had some serious momentum downcourt, so I saw his rim-hang as a safety precaution more or less.
2.) Technical ... if he actually hung on the rim. Tough to be sure on video from 100 feet away, but it definitely looked like he did.
3.) Nothing. Kid was hopeful for a tip jam, and when that opportunity passed, I'd also pass and say he was just protecting himself/others with the rim-hang.

1. Tech. looks like he pulls himself up, IMO.
2. Nothing. Looks like brief touch from the angle we have.
3. Nothing. Safety issue.

1. I likely have a T, but it is hard to tell how close the player is under him. That would make the difference for me.

2. I do not see a grab, I see a touch and that would make a difference. Too far away to know for sure.

3. No T, he grabs the rim while someone is under him.

Peace

In 2nd example, he grabs rim to help secure rebound. That is something.

Play 1, technical. He was fine until he added the pull up.

Play 2, nothing.

Play 3, technical. There was a player underneath him, but there isn't any reason for him to be on the rim in the first place. The opportunity to get the rebound has long past.

I agree with you that he doesn't need to be going at the rim this way and doesn't have a chance at the ball. But, because that player is under him, i don't call the T here. I think if safety is an issue he can grab it. i don't see the rule letting me consider how dumb he was getting himself into that position.

1. Nothing. He comes down when he has his body under control and it is clear.

2. Nothing from that vantage point. all though I would like a better look at it. Hard to tell if he is protecting himself or avoiding the rim or gaining some sort of unintended advantage.

3. Nothing. He's airborne he's going to come across someone's back and is using the rim to protect himself and the other kid. Move on.
