A1 shoots a three-pointer, A1 lands, B1 blocks out A1 excessively knocking A1 down, shot goes in, foul called.

Ruling on the court was count the basket and Teams A's ball on the side near the foul.

I wasn't clear, but I assumed the ruling was that the foul was after the made basket. I think the foul was before the basket went in, but it was close.

Was this situation interpreted correctly?

ATX,
Combine what JR wrote above with the case play below and you will see that the officials did indeed administer the play which you inquired about correctly.

ACT OF SHOOTING, TRY
4.41.1 SITUATION: B1 commits a common foul by holding A1 during a field-goal try, but after A1 has completed the act of shooting. The foul occurs before the bonus rule applies. The attempt is: (a) successful; or (b) unsuccessful. RULING: A personal foul is charged to B1 in both (a) and (b), but no free throw is awarded to A1 in either case. In both (a) and (b), the ball is awarded to Team A at the spot out of bounds nearest where the foul occurred. (7-5-5)
