I agree, by a very strict reading of the rule, this is BI. However, I feel pretty confident it doesn't fit the intent.
I've seen a basketball go this far into the net, hit the tight part just right (wrong?) and come right back out --- no basket. The player committing the BI here prevented that possibility. It's not a bucket until it comes out the bottom. Period.
