this is actually the correct ruling. the ball is live until it touches a player or the court after the the horn has sounded. i do not have books on hand but this is my rough memory of the play. what if the ball is rolling around the rim when the horn sounds after it has touched the floor? i would score the basket, and beleive this is the correct ruling.

Nope.

For NF - 5.1.1.b (paraphrased here) A pass/tap/try bounces off the floor, horn sounds, and then the ball goes in. No points are scored. When the ball hits the floor, the try or tap ends. Then you simply have a pass or a loose ball, and the horn does make either of those dead.

NCAA rule 5 A.R. 1 states the same.
