Hanging on the Rim

[Pumpy25]

With the other thread closed, here is hanging on the rim in a division 1 ncaa tournament regional final game...correct no call?

Looks to me like a T, but I don't work college so I don't know what the expectations are there.

Eh. Looks like he's just hanging on until he's vertical so he doesn't land on his a**. Maybe a touch of hot dog here but hardly over the top. I'm OK with a no-call here.

No tech here, and no tech in the other one.

Rarely does a player dunk and there is not someone hanging around the rim. I'm not really looking for a swing but a pull-up with the arms and knees. If it doesn't look unsporting then I'm not gonna penalize the kid who can pull off a sweet dunk.

Almost exactly the scenario from the Ohio HS game.

For me, no T there, no T here.

I would suspect, however, those in the overwhelming majority supporting the HS one would also say one should have been called here.

I think the threshold is different between HS and college. Even though the rules are essentially the same and I would have called the one in HS, I'd pass on this one in college.
