It doesn't really matter. If it happened as stated with the ball "goes in w/3 seconds", the clock, if running, should stop at that point due to the violation. The resulting timing on the clock should be no different if it had not been a running clock.

Plus, the only way it could have gone in with a running clock would be if it had been a full court throw from the far endline. I suppose that could happen. The bigger discussion in that case would be the fact that it went in at all.
