It could've been the rim too, but that wasn't specifically seen.

That probably doesn't make a difference, but Art. 4 mentions only the rim specificially contacting the ball, not the net itself.

BI was called, but there were those whose voiced a differenet opinion.

BI should have been called, for grabbing the rim while the ball was in the basket. Good call.
