Agree, it's a timer's error- not an official's error. It's no different than if the officials missed a travel by B1 when she caught the ball. You can't go back and retroactively make that call. I don't think that there's anything in the book that will let you give team A the ball at the scorer's table. Common sense might say "yes" but the rules don't.
Btw, whether the officials chopped time in or not ain't really that relevant. The timer is authorized to start the clock even if the officials don't chop it in. If the official hadda seen the violation and signalled continued time-out, then the clock shoulda never started. This one is just a timer's error.
The only way that you can correct anything that happened here is by having
definite information about the time involved.
Of course in a kid's game, you might bend the rules.
