Its not true that the defense never gets the ball back...although I don't know if a blocked shot technically should result in a rebound:

1 7:46 4 — 10 A. Karezis (A) reaches up and tries to tip it in under pressure from T. Lagos (H). Shot blocked.
1 7:46 4 — 10 The defensive rebound is snapped up by T. Lagos (H).

I think you are right about the shot clock though....

That would certainly add some value to the shotblocking skill - I like it.

I don't believe there's an actual "rim" in the game code. I believe the "rebound" event is what triggers shot clock reset, since it assumes a change of possession. So the ideal solution is to find a way to code a block so that it doesn't produce a rebound event, because frankly, a true block in real life wouldn't result in a rebound. It would be a loose ball. What we need is a loose ball event.
