By rule it is an official's error and the game is over.
Most feel that the fair thing is to envoke 2-3 and give team A a do-over.
MTD will chime in, incorrectly, that it is a timer's error.

I'm not sure I understand how this is NOT a timing error.
Let's forget all the complicating stuff. What if the T decides to chop in time as he bounces the ball to A1 for the throw-in and the horn goes off to end the game as A1 catches the ball for the throw-in.
Game over? You gonna run into the locker run and shake hands, congratulating each other on another great job?

5-9-1
The clock shall be started when the official signals time in.
The clock was started when the official signaled time in, so it IS NOT a timer's error, but an official's error which is covered under 5.10.1.C.
By rule the game is over when the horn went off, unless they blew the whistle for the foul, in this case, BEFORE the horn.
This will be where MTD will say that 5-9-2 thru 4 are the governing rules, when in FACT, they are there to tell the official when to signal.
We have argued this case 3 other times over 2 different forums and I'm not going to do it again.
5-9-1 makes it an official's error.
5.10.1.C says an official's error is not correctable.
2-3 is the only way out even though it is covered.
