Deciding if the ball had passed through the basket before the player grabbed the ring is a judgment call. The action happens quickly and is an understandable miss.
I don't believe that officials should be suspended for missing judgment calls. It certainly can and should impact their selection for future assignments and the quality of those contests. On the other hand, misapplying a rule is a sanctionable offense in my book. How big of a penalty depends upon how big of an impact it had on the game.
