I agree with Rut that the officials need to come together in the dead ball before this happens and prepare for the worst. I'd include the goofy-*** scorekeeper in the discussion too. "When I drop my arm, that means start the clock."

If the timer doesn't start the clock, the refs are pretty much screwed no matter what. If you allow the game to continue with a manual count, there will be confusion because players (and coaches) will be watching the clock to see if they have time for another pass. Even at the high school level, some players will stop in confusion. IMHO, the best thing to do is blow the whistle IF you can do it in the first second or two. Once the ball is advancing towards the hoop, it's probably just best to do the handcount and prepare to deal with the ensuing mess as best you can. It "ain't gonna be pretty."
