   Unless your opponents ball is the 8-ball, yes.

   As long as:

   1. you use a legal stroke (which requires using legal equipment)
   2. hit a legal ball first
   3. and the called ball goes in the pocket

   ...then it is a legal potting of the ball.

   There are sets (alterations or additions) of rules like "no slop" where you have to call insundry details (banks, kicks, caroms) for your turn to continue.

   But even here, if you pot your opponents ball first or second or simultaneously, as long as you made what you called, you turn (inning) continues; subject only to A, B, and C above.

   It is still your turn as long as the ball is not in the mix.

   100% it is still your turn. Don't let ppl scheme away your shots, call him/her out on it next time!
