So, really, whether or not you're considered HANGING or SUPPORTED at the end of a match based on your interactions with the vertical bar is irrelevant as all such interaction, potentially, is illegal irrespective of when it occurs.
You are not allowed to attach to the side of the field, but you are allowed to drive up against it. I see the same here. You are allowed to touch and be next to it, but not attach to it.
