The officials errorneously allowed the clock to start, true, but the ball was live. You can't say the ball was dead because it "should" have been dead. This is where the error occurred. The ball was live. Also, there was a rebound off of the first free throw. We can't say the ball was dead and there was no rebound because there wouldn't have been had we not had an error.
