When I have time tonight I will check my rule book to see if I can find a specific reference but do not have them with me here at work.

BI is when a player :
1) touches the ball or any part of the basket while the ball is on or within the basket, 0r
2. Touches the ball when it is within the cylinder that has the ring as it's lower base (that is, when the ball is directly above the basket--with directly being defined in the rule
The play at hand is article 1. I think you are confusing it with article 2.
