I don't work with a shot clock, so, take my comment accordingly...
The clock may show 0 before time has actually expired. Some clocks show 0 when there are really 0.9 seconds left. It depends on the clock design. Some will only show 0 when it is really 0.0.
Verify with the shot clock operator that the horn is turned on. If so, give A the throw-in and be ready for a quick horn...there is time left, but it is less than 1 second. Sometimes, the control unit will display more digits than the scoreboard.
Now, I get outside what I may be able to support with any rules but it stems from logical reasoning (and Rule 2-3).
If the horn was not on, you could still have time left, but you can't tell unless the control unit shows the time or the clock operator knows that it was on 0 for more than 1 second. You administer the throw-in to A, ready for the horn. If it sounds the instant the clock turned on, it was out. Call the shot clock violation and give the ball to B.
Again, I am not a shot clock user, so this may not be congruent with any official interpretation.
