Yes, I saw it out of the corner of my eye. I was lead in the FC, and trail didn't chop the time, but from the table it might have looked as if a defender tapped the ball.

But, if you allowed time to run out, then you don't have definite knowledge anymore of the amount of time that passed (it apparently went past 0:00); and the horn did not sound.

So, give the ball to A with 0:00 (the only time you are sure of) on the clock, make them toss it in, and unless B taps the toss in for a three, then the game is over.

Well, it seemed logical as I was writing it
The horn did sound in our case. I guess I don't get this part.
