Well, the FED violation is for causing the ball to "enter and PASS THROUGH the basket from below."
If the top of the ball gets 1" above the rim, has the ball passed through the basket?  (I recognize the original question said 1', but I'm guessing that was a typo. Even if it wasn't I'd like some discussion on the meaning of "pass through" as it applies to this situation.)

The ball has to completely pass through to have a violation.In other words,you'd better see daylight between the ball and the ring to call the violation.NCAA uses the same terminology as FED-"enter and pass through".
