No, in Mick's case the ref was bumped while tossing the ball, and the ball went askew. Nowhere does it say the ref was happy with the toss. The U thinking the toss is OK is not in the post, but even if it was it has nothing to do with it. It was a bad toss, whistled late. The ball was never properly live, never legally touched, the clock was improperly started.
This is really a rare kind of case anyway, but could happen and the book tells you what to do. If you choose to ignore it for convenience or whatever other reason, it's not the technically right thing but it's your game - call it your way. And this won't make a whole lot fo difference.
I'd also like your answers on my other clock shouldn't have started cases and your justification for the answers. How are they different or are they?
