Cool. So didn't the offensive player do something which could illegally prevent...the ball from going in the basket? The rule doesn't say anything about touching the ball and causing it to come out of the basket.

Now why would an offensive player do something to prevent the ball from going in the basket?

Funny, my rule book says a goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from above and remains in OR passes through. Period.
But I do get what you are saying and after watching the video with that in mind, there's a bit more judgement involved with this particular play than I originally considered. However, I don't see the touch in this video as one that keeps the ball in the basket or prevents it from leaving. The ball bounces up off of the rim and then drops in, hardly one I would imagine all of a sudden hitting the bottom of the net and bouncing out.

And all of that means what in regard to BI?

Actually, the rule says that a goal is also scored if the ball simply remains in the basket. It does not have to pass entirely through.
