First, it's unclear to me that you have a PF. He was trying to help his teammate get up so they could get set and spike it, right? If you're sure that this is a PF, then you must flag it and penalize, and the clock is secondary (not irrelevant, but secondary).
But if it's not obviously a PF, you have more options.
1. Ignore it and control the situation verbally.
2. If you judge that B was illegally attempting to consume time by being slow to get off the runner, then you can penalize that (3-6-2b, delay of game). The clock will start on the snap if you flag this.
3. You could even flag B for DOG and A for the PF, enforcing both DB fouls, clock on the snap.
