Not for me. If he brings his knees up higher, maybe, but not on this play.

Rich Sun Jan 06, 2013 11:36am
Me either.

Freddy Sun Jan 06, 2013 11:45am
Negatory, Good Buddy
 
Nope.

Not in my game.

Peace

HawkeyeCubP Sun Jan 06, 2013 12:11pm

Raymond Sun Jan 06, 2013 12:13pm

No technical. Close, but no cigar.

Camron Rust Sun Jan 06, 2013 01:34pm
No.

BktBallRef Sun Jan 06, 2013 02:10pm
Absolutely not. Even if it where a T, I would never makethat call from lead.

Bad Zebra Sun Jan 06, 2013 02:15pm
Heck no. If he doesn't hang as long as he did, he falls flat on his face ( or worse).

No Way!!

tomegun Mon Jan 07, 2013 11:50am
No, not close.

Tio Mon Jan 07, 2013 11:53am
This is not a technical foul.

Brad Mon Jan 07, 2013 11:58am
Will just add my +1 to the crowd...

You have to allow a player to regain their balance and come down safely. Giving technicals on this play doesn't help us at all in that regard.

I had a game where a player dunked and swung like that because of his momentum — he then slipped / let go of the rim and fell to the floor, coming down on his head and knocking himself unconscious. It was a long damn 30 minutes while we covered the player with jackets, kept him still, and waited for the ambulance. Fortunately he was ok.

A hanging-on-the-rim tech is for showboating — that's not what happened here. The official is dead wrong.

In my book, the only way this T is valid is if the player said the magic word or taunted one of the opponents. The action on the rim is legal.

No T from me, for the same reasons that Brad outlined.
