If it's clear that the team ahead is just trying to kill the clock, start counting. If you're not 100% sure that's their tactic, you could "see a spot of water on the floor" and stop the clock that way. You could see a violation on the team behind and call that, such as stepping out of bounds, or a uniform violation. If the team behind even so much as brushed the ball, you could call a Delay of Game warning on them, and that would stop the clock.
Why would you do any of that?

If the ball's at the disposal then count. Otherwise don't count.

A lot simpler, don't you think?
I did say to count, after all. But if there seemed to be some problem other than unsportsmanlike strategy, finding a reason to kill the clock seems reasonable, too.
Sure, if you're a member of team B.

Otherwise, no.
