They need to just eliminate this entirely. Hang all you want, but if you break a rim or backboard it’s 2FT + ball for the other team, and a $250k fine for you. Then let players do their own risk/benefit analysis.

Hanging in the rim for safety will almost never break the rim or board (with the new rims, it’s the rapid snap back that will break the boards)
