From there, on the second jump ball, if the clock moved at all you could have reset it to where it was before you threw the second jump since you have definite knowledge that it shouldn't have run at all...

First of all you chop the clock as soon as the ball is legally touched...Rule 5-9-2..."If play is started or resumed by a jump, the clock shall be started when the tossed ball is legally touched."
As soon as one of the jumpers touch the ball it is legally touched!
Not sure why you would need to know how much time ran off from the time it was touched to when it went OOB. The only time you might have to reset the clock on a jump ball is if the ball is tossed and neither player touches the ball before it hits the floor & the clock starts to run. You would re jump with a reset clock then.
