It is correct that the ball must pass through the basket from below for this to be a violation. However, there is much debate as to the interpretation of what exactly that means.
1. Does the top of the ball have to rise above the level of the ring?
2. Does the bottom of the ball have to rise above the level of the ring?
3. Must the ball entirely clear the net, if the net was pushed up on top of the ball?
4. If the net is no longer suspended below the ring is it still part of the basket?
