I read this differently - 5.10.1(C) says that you cannot correct the OFFICIAL based on the CLOCK (i.e., call a 10 second violation, give the ball to B, and reset the clock to 2 seconds).
In this case, the official was not following prescribed mechanics - where in the rule book, case book, or official's manual does it say to signal the clock to start before the throw-in is legally touched inbounds? (On an inbounds play, of course.)

Mark that is the point, the official erred, not the timer, the timer is supposed to start the clock when signalled to..if you can find somewhere that it says the timer will start the clock when properly signalled by the official then I will change my stance...otherwise this is an officials error and it sucks....but I would still invoke 2-3 give the ball to the offended team at the original spot and reset the clock to the original time...

100% correct, and luckily in Arizona, we have a rules interpreter who will back that ruling, even though by rule the game is over 5.10.1.C.
