A-5 attempts to dunk the ball. The ball hits the back of the ring and bounces up into the air near the basket. While holding onto the ring, A-5 reaches out, grabs the ball and dunks it.
Handle the situation.
No player, offensive or defensive, is allowed to use the ring to gain an advantage. A-5 has committed a technical foul for grabbing the ball while holding onto the ring. No goal can be scored since the technical foul made the ball dead immediately. Team B will be awarded two free throws and a throw-in from the division line opposite the table.
