It is possible that the player hung on the rim but released it before the ball went throught the hoop. If that happened, I would call the T and allow the basket.

If he's hanging while the ball's still in the cylinder (extending, theoretically, up to the roof), then basket cannot count, IMO.

I think that firedoc has it right here. BI for touching the basket (including the rim) only occurs when the ball is on or in the basket. Touching the basket is legal if the ball is in the cylinder above the basket.
In the original situation, the player was still hanging when the ball went through the basket, so waive the basket off.
