The officials don't have to make any determination.

The scorer must decide if it is a shot or not. If it isn't a shot, no rebound can be awarded. I don't know if the NFHS rule is the same but as the NCAA rule:

A field-goal attempt (FGA) is charged to a player any time the player shoots, throws or taps a live ball at his or her own basket, when, in the opinion of the statistician, the player is attempting to score a goal,...

In the play cmatthews describes, I think it's pretty obvious that it wasn't a shot.
