Then you should do exactly what Dan suggested. If the clock hasn't ticked off at least ten seconds, don't call the violation until it has, unless you're sure there has been a timing error.
Normally, it shouldn't take a timer a full second to start the clock. It could definitely take a full second to stop the clock. If 9.7 ticked off and you didn't start your count until A had possession, then it's likely the timer didn't start the clock for several seconds after he should have.
I think it's safe to say that your count probably isn't too fast. It's almost impossible to count too fast without dislocating an elbow or shoulder.
