Could you make the case that after the ball fully goes through it is now at the disposal of the opposing team and is now "live"? if so the contact would be a common foul similar to when a jump shooter shoots and misses but is fouled after he/she returns to the floor. All I know is the explanation to the offended coach will be interesting.

So, you are starting the 5 second count when the ball fully goes through the net?
I don't think so
