Assuming time was chopped in (big assumption here maybe) the clock operator was wrong to not start the clock.
I don't disagree. I was simply pointing out that the clock never should have started because the throw-in was not touched inbounds.

Since the officials screwed this up, they pretty much screwed up everything else that occurred afterwards.

As it was, they ended up doing what they would have done if they had make the correct call to begin with: they gave the ball to A for a throw-in with 1.4 on the clock. They just had the wrong spot.

The whole thing is a cluster**** from the get-go.
