Where is the rule on this (and by "rule" I mean rule, not case)?

Well, the question is, what causes the ball to become dead. And what are the exceptions.
In the case of a shooting foul, the applicable rules are: 6-7-1 (goal made), 6-7-6 (end of quarter, not applicable in our hypothetical), 6-7-7 (a foul other than team or player control, with exceptions), and 6-7-9 (a violation with exceptions.
The applicable exception to 6-7-7 is the try has begun. The only exceptions to 6-7-9 apply to the "opponent," or defensive violations. Further, there's nothing that stipulates the traveling rules don't apply after a foul. The only time they don't apply is noted in 6-1.
A dead ball going through the basket is meaningless.
