Several years ago when I was on our rule training committee, we taught our guys that this exception included any player, offense or defense, as long as said player already had legal contact with the ball before the ball entered the cylinder.
Looking forward to continued discussion on this.

I understand your point but the same point could be made with regards to the exception. It refers to dunking, which is an offensive play, not a defensive play. The whole idea is that a player can dunk the ball and not be charged with touching the ball while in the cylinder. The idea is
not that a defensive player can touch the ball while it is being held by an offensive player in the cylinder.
