From your post it sounds like they scored a basket and not a free throw. In that case, Snaq is correct in that the scorer should keep the clock running under Federation (highschool) rules. The only way the clock stops and Team B can roll the ball before the clock starts again is to call a timeout.

Almost all the other rulesets have a stop clock after a made basket in the last minute (<59.9 sec, NCAA) or last two minutes (<1:59.9 min, NBA and FIBA) of the game. If under these three rulesets the clock runs out, then the official has the power to reset the clock if he/she knows how much time was left after the made basket. If you don't know, then see if your crew knows...otherwise, you'd better ballpark a time because the clock should definitely not have expired because one of the three of you should be watching the clock.
