If this happens (which is unlikely), too bad.
The horn doesn't make the ball dead.

It does when the clock is properly operated.
The tap is like a try. If it is in the air when the horn sounds, and then it goes in, the basket still counts. Even if B1 touches it (not sure what Dan Ref meant by his remark). Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. summed it up well.

The clock starts as soon as B1 touches the ball on the throw-in, which means we are now eating into the .3 seconds. If .4 seconds elapse between B1's touch & A1's tap the basket cannot be good. This has nothing to do with whether or not the clock is started properly. Seems pretty obvious, no?

I think the confusion in the above is whether B1 touched before, or after, A1.
