If that's what the official is judging, then waive off the ball when the horn sounds.
Most of the time, though, it is a shot (albeit a sloppy heave). It's just that the contact is then judged to be incidental (at least until someone makes this an "absolute") -- not that the heave is judged to be not a shot.
