Actually, when I read the NBA rules, I seem to get a different conclusion. See here: http://www.nba.com/media/dleague/1314-nba-rule-book.pdf

It says if a field goal attempt is in flight, the ball becomes dead when the goal is made, missed or touched by an offensive player. Later it says whenever shot clock reads 0 and ball becomes dead, there is a 24 second violation. This makes me think the game clock would get reset only to the time when the ball became dead (ie: when the field goal was determined to be missed). Am I missing something?

NBA rules are such that they do not allow a team to waste more than 24 seconds if they are guilty of shot clock violation. For example: Team A inbounds the ball with 24.7 left in the game. A1 releases the ball with 1 second left on the shot clock. The game clock goes off while the ball is in the air. The ball does not contact the basket ring. The ruling would be that officials will indicate a shot clock violation and reset the game clock to .7 seconds and award a throw in for B on the sideline.
