Wow - tough one.
You've still got an official's TO as we wait for the box man to come down (usually not the most fleet of foot guy ut there) and you can, in that time, get the teams back on the field. A can always ground the ball, even if it's just the center and QB standing there. Sure, they'd take a penalty, but they'd get a play.
It points out that we always have to be cognizant of the little things - confirming the # of TO's for each team after one is called. If the TO was granted by one of the officials, I'd be hard pressed to penalalize A (time-wise) in terms of blwing it ready fr play real quick, especially if B is also off the field. I'm not sure that's what happened, but I'd give a little leeway myself.
