Second, here's the definition of a goal (NFHS 5-1-1): "A goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from above and remains in or passes through the basket."

Did your try meet that definition?
Technically no, but it's not as obvious as that.

The ball entered from above and passed through the basket. However, it is not a live ball, because causing the ball to enter the basket from below is a violation, causing the ball to become dead.

So no goal, but only because the ball was dead.
