Based on Fiba rules, I would have to count the basket (provided it has not touched any of the backboard supports or the back of the board), as the object of the game is to put the ball in the hoop. I might or might not consider it as an act of shooting depending on what I see although I would have to see this to make a decision. It is still legal play for the ball to go over the backboard, eg. after a shot and be rebounded, remain live and still be played, as long as nothing is touched by the ball on the way down, but as I said I am quoting Fiba rules.
