Others would say to start the clock as soon as the time out or free throw is over. Without official guidance, you'll get differing applications everywhere.
Note: this isn't a big deal either way, as you're only talking about, at most, a total of 10-20 seconds in a blowout game.

I would say that unless stated otherwise the clock would start when it normally starts. The rule
CHSEAGLE posted says when the clock is to stop. The rule did not state anything has changed as to when the clock is restarted.
