Snaq, cant say for sure. I know in 1 play it didn't seem like he hung on the rim at all IMO and in the other, the one I stated, his momentum carried him under the goal. The way he was carried if he would have let go it looked as if he could have fell flat on his back or in a unsafe manner since he would have been dropping straight down.

But back to the initial question I don't remember seeing a player directly under the players who dunked, but wouldnt it take a moment to look down to see in the case of the player causing him to maybe hang for an additional second?
