Should the clock start?

My apologies! My wording was incorrect. The team which was trying to in-bound was in frontcourt in front of their own bench. Sorry about the confusion.

As I said in my original post, my view was blocked out somewhat and I did not see the exact location of the official. I assumed he was fully OOB, but I would think that would make it rather unlikely that he would be hit by a ball thrown down the sideline.
