Officials don't get stop frame views from over the basket. They have to call it from the court in real time. As such, the applicable criteria will be that it is still a try in flight until it has clearly MISSED the rim or has bounced off.
Which is why I've acknowledged that I can see how it was made in real-time. I just don't feel like the replays support the call.
