Harrell already had a huge hang on the rim and got away with it. Last night Auguste did it several times, as did a few others. Does this annoy anyone else that they are able to hang on it so freely while several years ago we weren't able to hang on it even for a moment without the T being called?
Hanging on Rims

Harrell a few minutes ago was 3 times worse than the one Towns got a Tech for at LSU. It's all dumb IMO. I don't think it should be a T unless they greatly pull themselves up or slap the backboard.
But too many times players get a technical for it when they hang on because they have too much momentum and if they let go they will end up on their back or on the top of their heads.

It wouldn't bother me had we not been called for it so often in the past several years. We've even been called for it when we had to do it in order to stay safe. Yet they do it wide open and there is no call. Just want it to be called the same across the board.
He is carrying this team, that's for sure. Hitting outside and in. Cards will win if they don't stop him because Rozier has not started hitting yet and he will.

Yes it bothers me. It's unsportsmanlike. Harrell does it every game and Conaughton from ND was swinging like an ape after he dunked the ball last night. Grow some balls and enforce the rules.
Connaughton swung up far enough on a dunk last night to nearly kick the backboard.
The idea used to be that players must be under control. Flying in so hard that you swing wildly is the opposite of control.
It doesn't really bother me, other than the fact that they pick and choose when to call it.

It would have no more impact than a bad foul, traveling, etc. call. If the player feels uncomfortable for whatever reason and believes hanging on the rim will prevent possible injury, it should be allowed.

Most of the time it is not about comfort or safety. It is about dunking it hard to make a statement and then swinging to show off. Yes, there are times momentum takes you into needing to hang a bit longer, but it usually isn't so bad that you have to pull up.
It's a subjective thing. The one called on Townes earlier in the season was imo a bad call even though Cal got on to KAT about it. How can one person tell if another person feels like their safety may be in doubt. Better to hang on and risk the T than to let go and risk injury. That said, Harrell is either a show boater or suffers a fear of heights.
Holding or hanging on the rim is allowed as you are verifying area beneath you is clear to land. Swinging on the rim is allowed until you get control and then let go. A chin up on the rim is not allowed. Pretty simple rule and what hasn't been called shouldn't of been called.

It doesn't bother me at all because it has nothing to do with the outcome of the game.

wrong. it could have plenty to do with the outcome if a technical is called

with that logic all rules could be dismissed.

If it bothers you that much, write your congressman about it. There are a lot more things to complain about than a player or two occasionally hanging on the rim.

A technical can change the outcome of a game. It has happened many times. Announcers say mark down the time the T was called, It can change the momentum of the game. A T can make a 4 or 5 point change.
I don't like the call because sometimes it is called but most of the time not. The way Harrell hangs on the rim the other team should do it and see if they can get away with it or force the officials to call it on him.
