But he did hang on the rim - long enough to help himself swing toward the ball... and "before he gained control of the ball" is not the measure here - before he began his attempt to reach the ball would be more accurate (and the fact that he did NOT release the rim before attempting to get the ball is the reason for the clear violation).

I hope this video is used in training.
