grammaticality - Verb inside of prepositional phrase?

In a language arts project, I have the following sentence:




Grant watched in awe of the spectacular view of Dylan hitting a buzzer beater on TV as he served a Big Mac to his customer.




My teacher thinks that there's something wrong with it; he says that the of the spectacular view of Dylan hitting a buzzer beater on TV acts as a prepositional phrase and thus can't contain the verb "hitting".




Is this true? Please explain.
