It wouldn't be an error for the timer to start and stop it in that case.

If I’m the administering official, I’m chopping the clock and then blowing the whistle for the violation. Whatever time elapses before the timer can stop the clock is reasonable.
I believe that the NCAA rule is that a minimum of 0.3 seconds must come off the clock.
