T for grasping...

Thoughts?

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

Heck no. If he doesn't hang as long as he did, he falls flat on his face ( or worse).

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.
