SC Official's post is 100% correct for the original post, requested and granted.
Young'uns should know that granted timeouts can be "revoked" under certain circumstances, when the timeout is granted without being requested.
5.8.3 SITUATION E: A1 is dribbling the ball in his/her
backcourt when: (a) the Team B head coach requests and is
erroneously granted a time-out by an official; or (b) the Team
A head coach is yelling “side out” offensive instructions to
his/her team and the official stops play believing the coach
requested a time-out. RULING: In (a), Team B is entitled to
use the time-out since it was requested and granted; once
granted it cannot be revoked and is charged to Team B. All
privileges and rights permitted during a charged time-out are
available to both teams. Play will resume with a Team A
throw-in nearest to where play was stopped. In (b), an
inadvertent whistle has occurred. Team A was not requesting
a time-out, and therefore, should not be granted or charged
with one. Play is resumed at the point of interruption. (4-36-1;
