And, that the second upward travel of the ball, and subsequent falling through the basket, should not count.

The coach of the shooter's team said that the basket should have counted, because the shooter was still in the air.
Much to the disapproval of the coach, we disallowed the basket, and put the shooter on the line for 2 free throws.

I believe dropping below the rim isn't why the shot ended. I think it ended when it landed back in the shooters hand. Just my opinion.
