Breaking the plane of the ring/basket from below with the ball is not a violation, in and of itself. For the violation to be called the ball must pass through the basket, I believe. (NFHS 9-4)(NCAA 9-6)

I've actually seen something like this happen twice in the last two months in college games I've been at (watching - I don't have my college stripes just yet). The officials got together in both situations to confer on whether or not a try had touched the rim following the ball being up in the net/near the rim, etc. - and, IMO, they got it right both times (as did the shot clock operator, both times, to their credit).
