I would blow the whistle and go to the table. After choking the operator to death I would make sure that the backup operator understood that this can't happen again....I would then call the coaches together and explain that while it is unfortunate for team A, there is nothing that we can do other than give them the ball with the freedom to run the endline with the clock starting on a legal touch.
The problem with waiting once you see it is that there are too many things that could go wrong...team A could panic and throw the ball away, you could end up with coach of team A on the court screaming about the clock, just way too much could happen to let something like this go once you have noticed it IMO...
To add a twist what if you had some reason to believe (no idea what the reason would be) that the home scorer stopped the clock to intentionally give team B an advantage? What are your options?
