By rule 4-16 he was dunking "Dunking or stuffing is the driving, forcing, pushing or attempting to force a ball through the basket with the hands"

Rule 9-11 (basket interference) has an exception. "Dunking or stuffing is legeal and is not basket interference"

Now, I have rules to back up the call. No BI. The player gets the call and bucket he deserves and no rules were ignored or set aside.

Furthermore, as far as the rule 9-11 is concerned, The player violated
Art 1. "player touches the ball or basket" but as part of a dunk attempt. =no BI
Articles 2, 3, & 4 were not violated in teh given scenario.

No BI. Correct me if I am wrong.

You're wrong.

You're quoting NFHS rules, so take a look at casebook play 10.3.4SitB(a). It's exactly the same as the initial post on this thread.It says if the player's hanging on the rim to avoid injury,and the ball is in the basket or on the ring, it's basket interference.Also, take a look at casebook play 9.11.1SitB. That one says that, if the play is the same, but the player is not hanging on the rim for safety purposes, it's still basket interference and it's also a T.
