So the above is saying the shot clock would start on contact of the ball by A2? We would not being our 10 second count until A2 has gained control or his team has control. (NCAA 9-10-Art. 1 says inbounds player (and team) shall not be in continous control of ball that is in back court for 10 consecutive seconds). Correct or not correct?
Let say it takes A2 five seconds to gain control of the ball. The shot clock would read 25 seconds. Would your 10 second back court count could end with 15 seconds on the shot clock?

That's correct, which is why it's always a good idea to look at the shot clock on the throw-in to make sure it started properly. And to make sure you do not automatically blow the whistle at 25 seconds (men's) when A is still in the back court.
