Correctable timing issue?

Team B scores a basket with 39 seconds on the clock towards the end of the 2nd quarter. Team A waits a few seconds before picking up the ball, and waits another few seconds before passing it in, knowing that if they inbound the ball with under 35 seconds they can hold for the last shot. Clock operators stop the clock on the made basket and start it again on the inbounds. Coach A and A1 (starting point guard, who is on the bench) notice right away and inform the officials. Is this correctable? or does team B (the home team, in this case) have a chance at another possession?

In a HS game the clock shouldn't stop, but NFHS rules also do not provide for a shot clock.

The timing error is correctable, but the official would have to have a count of some kind, such as the throw-in count.

Might be California and/or Texas some leagues have shot clocks there I think
but the clock wouldn't stop after made basket in the last minute of any quarter but the fourth I believe.

So in this case this is a timers mistake and the official is to correct the time on the clock.

prior to all of this the official could start a count, you may determine it is at the disposal and not let them manipulate the time to gain an advantage.

Thanks, but I'm aware that a few states employ a shot clock at the HS level. I can even tell you which ones.

That is one modification that I have not heard of being used at the HS level.

Anyone know of any states that do this?

I'm not sure that would be the case, it may be no stopping of the clock in any quarter, but if there is stoppage after a made basket it would not be in the second quarter.

It could be.
