I know we've discussed this before on the forum.

From the NCAAW Arbiter Site:

QUESTION:

When there is a shot clock violation, either the ball not released prior to the horn, or the ball is released, but does not strike the rim, from where is the ball put back into play? From the end line, or the point closest to where the shooter was located.

ANSWER:

The answer depends upon how the shot-clock violation occurs. If the ball is still in the hand(s) of the shooter when the shot-clock horn sounds, the opponent’s are awarded the ball for a throw-in at the out-of-bounds spot nearest to where the violation occurs (in this case, where the player was standing with the ball in her control). If the try is released, the shot-clock horn sounds and the try fails to strike the ring or flange, then the opponent’s throw-in will be made from the out-of-bounds spot nearest to where the try is unsuccessful.
