I won the bet
A1 gets fouled in the process of throwing the ball towards the wrong basket. The ball goes in the basket. Partner says to count the basket. I say NO basket. He says "I think you are wrong".. I tell him "The difference between you and I is that, you think I am wrong and I know I am correct!" He won't let it go, so he bets me dinner and shakes hands. Then tells me he likes steak!
After the game I get out the case book and read him case 4.41.2. He is still in denial. The other partner laughs and tells him he owes me dinner.

You're in for a treat! I understand that Missouri has some great steakhouses!

Did the ball go in the basket before or after(most likely) the foul?

"A1 gets fouled in the process of throwing the ball towards the wrong basket."

That means the foul occurred while he was throwing the ball, not after it went in the basket.

You don't know that. He could have been an airborne (non) shooter returning to the floor after a layup or finger roll.

In that case, the ball would become dead as soon as the ball passed through the basket. So the contact would be ignored unless intentional or flagrant.
