Dennis, I'm afraid you're incorrect on this. It's true that team control is lost on the shot attempt, but the shot clock is not reset unless the ball actually hits the rim. So, assuming the arrow is pointing to A, if the shot goes up, and A1 and B1 simultaneously secure control of the ball, the ball is awarded to A with the unexpired time on the shot clock. This would also be the case if A1 secured the rebound and then was tied-up by B1.
If B secures the ball first, then we have a different story, obviously.
