This is the sort of thing Terry would know; it is surprisingly hard to find an answer on the internet.

The logical thing is that the shot clock violation occurs and the game clock is stopped when the shot clock hits 0, but the problem is that you don't know that the shot clock violation has occurred until the ball misses the rim.  99% of the time it doesn't matter, but when this happens late in a game, those fractions of a second when a game clock is stopped can be important.

Interesting question. If Brook just threw the ball up in the air as hard as he could with 1 sec left on the shot clock, does the game clock run during the time (a couple of seconds at least, could be more) the ball is in the air and stop only when it hits some object other than the rim (a player, the ground)? If so, he should have done that. I would imagine you could waste 3 seconds that way.
