So...if the throw-in touches B1 first and then the ball rolls around on the court the shot clock runs but there's no ten-second count since there's no player control by the offense. This scenario renders the idea of using the shot clock to accurately count the 10 seconds useless.

This could work and it wouldn't be hard to get the rules aligned to do so. You could also change the rule to say the 10 count starts at the same time as the shot clock....either both when it is touched in bounds (since there is TC during a throwin) or both when it is controlled inbounds.
