At the end of the game, the entire crew should have awareness of the clock. In a fullcourt press situation, the lead needs to help as they usually have little to no pressure and can ensure the clock starts properly. If the clock doesn't start, someone needs to kill the game right away unless a shot is imminent. I think you did the best that you could with the situation (other than not talking about it during the timeout).

Recently I have had way more than I ever expected partners tell me when a team is down to 1 time out or none or when a player has 4 fouls. I try my best to tell that I don't care about this and that I don't want updates like this I get a funny look. Not sure about you guys out there but do any of you care about these pieces of information?
I'm still going to grant a coach a TO if they have none, and I'm still going to call that fifth foul if/when the kid commits it.

This is different and usually at the end of games (at least I have worked) we are already in the bonus. But this is just normal communication during a game. This thread has been focusing on "special" end of game type communications.

So as for the OP, what is the best way to handle the situation if the clock doesn't start properly. If they make a steal or a shot that you whistle dead, one of the coaches is going to be irate. Do you just reset the play to what it should be like as if nothing happened?

Nope. I always keep the time in my head in this situation and clean up the issue after the fact. No do overs. If in my count the score is good then count it, if not wave it off.
either way, there is a distinct possibility, that one of the coaches will be irate. That's the case in plenty of games we work.
