Based on the way this game was going....I am confident there would have been another dead ball. Either the team that was behind would have made a basket (remember the "No foul" cry from the coach...he was willing to trade a basket for time off the clock) or if they missed and did not get the rebound, they would have fouled.

Again, mistakes happen, sometimes they place teams at a disadvantage. You don't complicate that error by making a second error: ignoring the timer's mistake and waiting until later to correct it. There's no way to KNOW there will be another dead ball. Kill the play and make the correction.
