I disagree. According to 3-4-2 & 3, the clock should have started on the ready. It would only start on the snap if B had actually been awarded a new series. Since there were penalties there was not a new series for B, even though there was a change of possession. For that reason the clock should start on the ready.

3.4.3d is the closest case book play that I could find. It's a different play but it points out that the clock starts on the snap because there was a change of possession AND there was a new series awarded to B.

MHO
