Hanging on rim

[devdog69]

This came up in our pregame Tuesday night, it apparently happened to one of my partners the previous Friday night.

Player attempts a dunk, the ball hits iron and bounces up, he is fouled on an undercut and is hanging on the rim to protect himself when the ball comes back down and goes through the basket. Is this basket interference? Why or why not? That is what we were leaning towards but is there a case play that would help. We talked about it a little and never really got a good solid answer, so we're heading out of the locker room and he asks "so what are we going to call it if it happens". I said call whatever and tell the coach "coach, we talked about this exact play in the locker room before the game".
