I inform the coach that since we have no definite knowledge of how much time was consumed, we would have a White Team throw-in and the clock would stay at 9.8 seconds.

While you didn't know the maximum amount of time that ran off, you did have definite knowledge of a MINIMUM amount of time--from your initial 10-second count and from knowing that "another 1-2 seconds expire" before you blew your whistle. That's likely at least 3 seconds you could have taken off with justification. I wouldn't leave it exactly the same, since everyone there knows at least some time elapsed. Err on the side of conservatism, but take SOMETHING off.
