basket interference?

He loses the ball, it hits the rim and goes straight up.
A1 grabs the rim to prevent injury.
The ball goes in the basket.

What's the call?

Depends on your meaning of "loses the ball". If he lost the ball and it bounces off his knee before it hits the rim, it is not a try and the foul causes the ball to become dead. No BI. No T for grabbing the rim.

If you still deem it a try, I'll side with MN 3 Sport Ref. Either way there is no basket.
