I say it's like grabbing the rim, even if the shot may not have gone in either way you can't grab it and then leave it to the ref and his protractor to figure out the angle of decent. It still rattles the rim so I say basket interference.
Plus, intentionally slapping the backboard forcefully like that doesn't happen purely by accident. Judgement call, but based on the description ("with as much energy and effort as possible") it sounds to me like rollo is saying he smacked it on purpose, which is a T.
If it wasn't deemed to be on purpose in the moment I would say no T.
