Disagree, the exception refers to touching the ball or any part of the basket while the ball is on or within either basket; or touching the ball while any part of the ball is within the imaginary cylinder, it doesn't only refer to dunking.
The phrase "
dunking or stuffing is legal and is not basket interference" was probably added in 1976 when the NFHS added a rule change allowed dunking during the game but not during pregame warmups, nor during intermissions, and with a later rule change in 1978 outlawing dunking a dead ball. Previous to this dunking was not allowed at all (the “(Lew) Alcindor Rule”).
