Let's ignore NBA and FIBA for the moment. An NBA ref wouldn't ask this and Levittown, NY isn't a hotbed of international basketball.
In both NCAA and NFHS, the ball is put in play at the spot closest to the violation. In the case of a shot clock violation, this would be at the spot closest to where the ball was when the shot clock horn sounded. (Obviously, FED rules do not address a shot clock; we must assume NCAA rules, since NY girls use NCAA rules.)
In either case, my first post contains the correct answer.
