How to resume after clock starts during throw-in that is untouched.

Point of interruption (one of four "magic" spots).

Although technically not a correctable error (although it's an error, and it's correctable), I'm pretty sure that 2-10-6 would apply:

2-10-6: If an error is corrected, play must be resumed from the point of interruption to rectify the error …

Use definite knowledge, a visual, or non-visual count, to correct the game clock.

5-10: ART. 1 The referee may correct an obvious mistake by the timer to start or stop the clock properly only when he/she has definite information relative to the time involved. The exact time observed by the official may be placed on the clock.
ART. 2 If the referee determines that the clock malfunctioned or was not started/stopped properly, or if the clock did not run, an official’s count or other official information may be used to make a correction.

Are you assuming that A touched the ball at some point during this?

As I read the OP, no one inbounds had touched the ball when the referee stopped play because the clock had improperly started.the

Good catch.

Yes I did assume, when such information wasn't presented.

Thanks.

So since the throwin didn't end the new throwin would go back to the original throwin spot, which would also be the the point of interruption according to 4-4-3.

4-4-3: A ball which is in flight retains the same location as when it was last in contact with a player or the court.

Is "flight" treated the same as a roll?

I assume so.

Wait.

I believe so.

"In flight" is not treated the same as a roll.

But, it doesn't matter.

The reference you want is 4-36-2b (slightly edited):

Play shall be resumed by.... A throw-in when the interruption occurred during this activity.

I almost used this reference, but decided to try for a better one.

Are you calling this an inadvertent whistle, an interrupted game, as in 5-4-3, or a correctable error?

It's not an inadvertent whistle, it was an advertent whistle.

It's a timing error, an error, and often correctable, but not a correctable error.

It's an interrupted game, but not like the interrupted game in 5-4-3 (interrupted because of events beyond the control of the responsible administrative authorities).

But I can go along with interrupted game based on purpose and intent.

But doesn't one still need 4-4-3 to determine the throwin spot?

Ball location *can* be important during POI, but not when the POI is during a FT or a throw-in.

Basketball Rules Interpretations - 2009-10
SITUATION 11: Team B scores a goal to take the lead by one point. A1 immediately requests and is granted a timeout with three seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Following the time-out, Team A is awarded the ball for a throw-in from anywhere along the end line. A1 passes the ball to A2, who is also outside the boundary; A2 passes the ball to A1 who is inbounds and running the length of the court. The timer mistakenly starts the clock when A2 touches A1’s pass while standing outside the boundary. An official notices the clock starting on A2’s touch (a), before A2 releases the throw-in pass to A1, (b), while A2’s throw-in pass is in flight to A1, or (c), as soon as A1 catches the throw-in pass. RULING: This is an obvious timing mistake and may be corrected. In (a) and (b), the official shall blow the whistle, stop play and direct the timer to put three seconds on the game clock. Since the throw-in had not ended, play is resumed with a Team A throw-in from anywhere along the end line. In (c), the official may put the correct time on the clock, but must make some allowance for the touching by A1 – likely 10ths of a second, if displayed. The ball is put in play nearest to where it was located when the stoppage occurred to correct the timing mistake. A “do over” is not permitted in (c), since the throw-in had ended. (4-36; 5-10-1)
