AK ref SE
The official administering the throw in counted silently from time ball was tipped. Horn sounded while he was still on "One". This was an obvious mistake that everyone in the gym realized.

With definite knowledge of the timing error, you can reset clock to 1.5 seconds (5-10-1). With the fact that the ball was tipped and not yet controlled when horn sounded, you have to go to the arrow unfortunately. Hopefully arrow is with B.

I say this because the horn signalling the end of a game has the same status as a whistle, the only time that the horn shares that status (a horn signalling shot clock expiration, for example, is not a stoppage - there is no violation until ref determines that there is). This means that the horn sounding an end of period at an innappropriate time is the equivalent of an inadvertent whistle. With an inadvertent whistle and no possession, you must go to arrow.
