Handle the situation.
A5 grabbing the ring to protect himself was legal. However, A5 is not permitted to use the ring to gain an advantage which he did in this play. This is a technical foul. No score is possible. The dunk will be disallowed. Team B will be awarded two free throws and the ball at the division line opposite the table.
