Please provide a RULE reference where I can find this quote.

I had a play just like that this season and we counted the basket exactly because we had no definite knowledge that it wasn't good.

Looking at the slo-mo replay, the center official clearly comes across the floor and is emphatically waving the shot off. So I have no idea why you think they were guessing.
