Thank you! How the [bleep] did I miss "backboard/ring"?!?!?

Happened in a game here Friday night. A t was called.

Had it happen just over a week ago. Called it. Coach wasn't at all pleased...but that isn't anything new.

He was suggesting that it was a judgement call and I didn't have to call it. He was right if he was talking about the original hang...which I had judged to be legal since there were several players underneath his player when he tried to dunk the ball. I informed him that once his player grabbed the ball again while hanging that, it ceased to be a judgement call.
