Passing through the basket from below

[Rob1968]

Last night, VB, 3-man crew, I was observing:
Rebounding action and ball is batted upward into the net, and a hand of the player is in contact with the ball, but the ball does not pass through the basket, does not go above the rim. Trail comes in and callls a violation for causing the ball to enter the basket from below.
We discussed it after the game and my understanding of 9-4 is that it should have been a no-call, as the ball didnot pass al the way through the basket.

I also felt that it could not be basket interference, because the ball had not entered the basket from above.
