Dunk and Hang on Rim (Video)

[fullor30]

Letter of the rule ..... Yes

Spirit of rule ........ No

I wouldn't call it, but agree with Nevada if partner did, I could see rationale

If no defender in vicinity, call might be better supported.

The mini chin up at the end might be enough for the T but could support either way.

Nope.

Peace

I'd vote "no" on a T here

If I were still officiating at the collegiate level, I probably (99%) not call this a TF. BUT!! At the H.S. level this is a video casebook play of a TF for hanging on the rim.

You're just envious because you can't jump high enough to touch the rim any more. How come the players stay the same age, and we keep getting older? It just doesn't seem fair.

Not only that, they keep getting faster and quicker.

This is closer to a video casebook of when NOT to have a TF in this situation.

I had a similar play the other week where a kid dunks the ball with the same momentum as in the video. He was unable, or unwilling to continue hanging on the rim and ended up falling parallel to the floor. Fortunately, he was not seriously hurt but he easily could have been.

As officials we should err on the side of allowing the player to protect themselves. If he continues hanging on the rim once he gets back into a safer landing position then ring him up. In this video he lets go.

I don't think it's even close to a T in real time. In super slow mo, sure it looks like it could have been something but these plays aren't played or officiated in super slow mo.

Agree. I think you have to consider how the ball was dunked, and more specifically, what the player's speed was when the dunk happened. A dunk from right under the hoop better let go quick, or it's getting a T from me, but if they have a running start like in the video, letting go too early can be pretty unsafe
