Like Rut said, if none of that happened, then I feel like 95% of us wouldn't think anything of his grabbing the rim.

You're right; if he swings like that and lands on the floor, I've got nothing since there was a player under him when he dunked. If he swung like that without a player under him, it's a T. The rule says he gets to prevent injury, so by purposefully landing on another player, he makes it clear that he was not grasping the ring to prevent injury.

I don't have my book handy, but I think this might also fit under taunting.

Another thought:
Live ball, A1 and B1 square off and start bumping chests in the middle of play.

Most of us would go with double Ts. The contact is incidental to the action earning the T.
