I'm not sure I agree with that....
Is this where the arguing begins?

Maybe things are different in Canada, I donno. . . If B threw the ball into play, then the horn went off, then it went OOB, I would ignore the horn. Give the ball to A at the spot the ball was thrown from (NFHS rules) with 1 second on the clock. No way B gets a free second chance.

Oh?
What if the other B players, who may have had a chance at catching the pass, froze at the sound of the horn going off?
What if the same play happened, only there was an inadvertent whistle instead of the horn going off? Would you give the ball back then?
What's the difference? Yes, one is a timing error, one is an official's error. Both have the same effect.
I have no qualms whatsoever about re-starting the play. The rules would seem to back me up.
