I'm gonna take a stab here....but this is how I see it.

1. Do nothing. You've just described the clock status when the ball goes through the hoop (until we get inside 1:00 in the second half by NCAA rules). Ball is live when player gets it out of bounds to throw it back into play.

2. Chop time in when A1 touches it. This sounds like a throw-in situation where Team A wants to wait until last possible moment before starting clock.

If this isn't it, I haven't the foggiest. Can't wait to see the answer, though!

Incidentally, I agree with previous poster. Hawks Coach clearly has too much time on his hands. Should be designing plays (or layup drills, by the sounds of it!)
