This is why clock management / awareness is very important at the end of a close game. If you never signaled an OOB call on the table pass, then the timekeeper should have started the clock. If he saw it, once A stole the ball it should have started. If there is no true way of knowing how much time was elasped, then the basket should count.
You should have killed the play while it was in motion when you noticed the clock stopped or it was taking more than two seconds. But if both coaches agree then play it over. They must be really nice coaches though. Here in NJ that would never happen.
