That's my reading of it, too -- that is, A goal is made WHEN (this is the time reference to compare to the horn) the ball enters the basket and (meaning, i think, as long as, or provided that, the ball then) remains in or passes through.

If the timing was menat to be otherwise, the wording would be, "A goal is made when a live ball remains in or passes through the basket from above."

Of course, I'm "certain" that this case wasn't considered when the specific words were written.
