Strictly speaking, no it is NOT. The ball is not dead until the goal is made and for that to happen the ball must do more than just enter the basket/net. It must remain in there or pass through. How long it must remain in there before the goal is made is up to the judgment of the official.
And that is per rule 5-1-1.
