what is a grasp?

[rsl]

This came up at a pickup game today. 10-3-3 prohibits grasping the basket or dunking in warm-ups. What about just touching the rim or slapping the backboard?

What are the limits?

Just for the record, I'm the one with the gym key and I was trying to keep my buddies from bending the rim. They were definitely grasping.

10-3-3

dunk or stuff, or attempt to dunk or stuff a dead ball prior to or during the game
or during any intermission until jurisdiction of the officials has ended. This item
applies to all team members.
