You need to read Rule 2-10-1. In order to know what Rule 5-1 you must know what is considered the basket. The basket obviously by definition involves the net.
"Each basket shall consist of a single metal ring, 18 inches in inside the diameter, its flange and braces, and a
white cord 12-mesh net, 15 to 18 inches in length, suspended from beneath the ring."

It would be BI because a player from either team touched a ball including within the net while the ball is on or within the basket. You need to read Rule 4-6-1. There is no distinction as to who the player must be or how they touch the ball. And the ball is only dead when a goal is made. Because of what 5-1 says, you cannot have a goal until the ball has passed through the basket according to Rule 6-7-1.
