I can see the game legitimately being over in this case.

A couple of other comments:
The only way that the clock can be returned to 1.2 seconds, even if an official observes it start early, is if the official sounds the whistle IMMEDIATELY before the throw-in is touched inbounds. Of course, this will prevent the defense from making the steal.

The only way that a fraction of a second can be returned to the clock is if an official looks at the clock and sees time remaining AFTER the whistle is sounded for either the granting of the time-out or the OOB violation. Otherwise the game is over.
I agree with everything you say. All I was posting is that it was physically impossible for him to have the ball and be in the air that long.
