You should stop the clock, and award B a throw-in with 7 seconds on the clock. This is the least damage to the situation, imho.
I also believe that B should get only 2 seconds left to cross the division line, but I'm not certain this approach is supported anywhere.
Nothing good can come out of having nobody aware of how much time is really left.

If you stop the clock to fix the issue in the BC then the inbounding team gets a full 10 seconds. We do not suspend the BC count.
I would wait for the ball to make it to the FC before stopping play and fixing the clock based on my (T) count (15 - whatever count I had). It's not fair to the defense who could get a BC 10 second violation here to blow the play dead and start over.
