When do you start the shot clock?

a) when the throw-in pass is tipped by A2
b) when the throw-in pass is tipped by B1

From the current NCAA rules:
Rule 2
Section 11. Duties of Shot-Clock Operator
The shot-clock operator shall:...

5. Start the timing device when a player inbounds legally touches or is
touched by the ball on a throw-in or when a team initially gains possession
from a jump ball, an unsuccessful try for goal or when possession is gained
of a loose ball after a jump ball or unsuccessful try for goal.

I have to wonder whether this has anything to do with there being team control during a throwin, but I'm just speculating. I had assumed that for the shot clock to start, team control would have needed to begin.

Having only worked one game with a shot clock, ever, I'm not surprised I had that one wrong.

This is from the WIAA website - since the 35 sec. shot clock is new for boys this year, they posted very clear instructions on their website. The rules are pretty much the same as the NCAA rules.

Art. 5 Start the timing device when a player in bounds legally touches or is touched by the
ball on a throw-in or when a team initially gains possession from a jump ball, an
unsuccessful try for goal or a loose ball.

To clarify things, Team B had full control of the ball the whole time.

yes, and apparently for 8 seconds.
