basket interference?

[Jeremy Hohn]

The pushing foul causes the ball to become dead, BUT in what way did the player interfere with the basket? If he did so because of the contact foul on the opposing player, ignore it. The only reason it happened was due to the contact by the opposing player. Just explain to the coach what happened and let him know. Especially if he was attempting to save himself from a hard fall. Player safety is to me considered as well.
