Hanging on the rim

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.

1) This one is close with the little extra hang and pull once he only has one hand on the rim. I probably pass on the T but say something to #23 and/or his coach as a reminder.

2) T. He gains an advantage in securing the rebound by grabbing the rim. Hard to see in transition and it was quick but would have been a great get by the C or T.

3) Nothing. He mistimed his attempt on the rebound but would err on the side of safety in not penalizing.
