The clock never started. This was not noticed by the officials until the player 1 for Team A as in the act of attempting a 3.
An educated guess says that 9 seconds of action had been played.
What do you do as an official in this situation?

Was your "educated guess" based on some type of visible count????
If not, discount your guess and have a talk with your partners, where you might get some solid evidence of elapsed time. Also have a chat with the folks at the table. Had they been accurate up to this point?
In the absence of any definite knowledge, just play on and keep one eye on the clock...
Lesson(s) learned....
