SECTION 1 GOAL
ART. 1 . . . A goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from above and remains in or passes through.

But the ball does pass through from above. It just passed through from below first. So the really important citation is:

9-4 A player shall not travel with the ball, as in 4-44, intentionally kick it, as in 4-29, strike it with the fist or cause it to enter and pass through the basket from below.

PENALTY: The ball is dead when the violation occurs and is awarded to the opponents for a throw-in fromt he designated out-of-bounds spot nearest the violation.

Since the ball is dead as soon as passes through the basket from below, it cannot be scored when it then passes back through from above.
