First of all, I'm just curious, where and when did this happen? Why was the shot clock 45 seconds?

To answer your question, let's just make the sequence explicit.

1) shot is released,
2) shot clock expires,
2a) x number of seconds elapse on the game clock,
3) game clock expires,
4) ball fails to hit the rim.

In the NCAA (and thus in most states that use a shot clock for HS), the game is over.

In the NBA, a shot clock violation has occured. x number of seconds are put back on the game clock, and the ball is awarded to the team that was on defense.

I'm sorry, but I don't have either rulebook handy at the moment. I'm sure Dan will provide you with the NCAA AR.
