Is this a do over?
Team A scores and is down by 1 point at the end of the game. Team B calls time with 3 secs on the clock. The ball is inbounded in the backcourt but the timer fails to start the clock. Team B coach is screaming that the clock did not start. The officials blow it dead. The trail tells the new lead that he reached two on his backcourt count before the whistle blew everything dead. They decide to replay the throw in with 3 seconds on the clock. Is this the correct way to handle this? Could they have used the trail's count and put one second on the clock and inbound where the POI was on the whistle?

This sounds like "definite knowledge", so I would say inbound with 1 second left.

If there are less than 10 seconds in the game do you even have a backcourt count?
FYI, I don't have one in those situations, but should I in case something like this happens? |

Just curious about a visible count during a time you don't need one, or shouldn't have one. Like... what would an observer think of that? |

I'm not sure the video matters. I just count.

In all honesty, I don't have a backcourt count under 10, which means I don't have any visible count. I do however, countdown in my head when under about 5 seconds.

If you knew you (or your partners) had a count going, would you even blow this play dead?
Team B has now been put at a disadvantage, forced to execute another throw-in, presumably still in its backcourt. Just count it out, and when you don't hear a horn after your 3 seconds are up, blow the whistle and the game is over. Sure, Team B coach has another second or two of exasperated yelling, but when he realizes he's won, that'll dissipate rather quickly. |

I was told at a camp once, to always have a visual count when the ball is in the backcourt no matter what time was left on the clock, just in case there is a scenario where the clock doesn't start.

If there were only 3 seconds and you're already at 2, I would say it's better to wait one more second and say game over than to blow it dead at this point.

6.4.5 Situation B: During an alternating-possession throw-in, thrower A1 holds the ball through the end-line plane and B1 grabs it, resulting in a held ball. RULING: Since the throw-in had not ended and no violation occurred, it is still A's ball for an alternating-possession throw-in. (4-42-5). |
IMO a situation which looks like a do-over is an inadvertent whistle while a throw-in pass is in flight. Actually, anything which would warrant using POI in this situation.
