I support the ruling that no change of possession took place.
The truth of the matter, even if the official initially told the players that it was a 1+1 situation, is that it is a 2 shot situation.
Because of that, all that B did was pass around a dead ball. I wouldn't penalize B for any sort of delay of game because they acted on erroneous information from the official.
I think you don't penalize fouls that aren't technical or intentional, and no time should legally come off the clock.
