When does the ball become dead?

There is no player or team control on a shot, so I thought the basket would count.

Under NCAAM, the shot would count.

I clarify because the OP didn't specify any teams that were playing or what rule set is being used.

Why did you clarify your clarification? It was obvious, and it's sad that you had to do that.
