When the ball gets almost to half court, and just as the player touches the ball, my partner blows his whistle because the timer has improperly started the clock. There are now 29 seconds on the clock. Partner says to restore 34 seconds to the clock and gives the ball back to Team B on the baseline.
2)Related question: Should the whistle have sounded at all? The rule tells what to do to correct a timer's mistake, but I don't see where it says to whistle the ball dead because of a timer's mistake.

1) Your partner is wise beyond his years. The whistle was blown
during a throw-in. It goes back to the original throw-in spot and team B can still run the endline.
2) See NFHS rule 5-8-2(b).
