I ruled an inadvertant whistle, granted White's time out and gave the ball to Red for a sideline throw in.
Did I adjudicate this correctly?

White requested the TO when white had the ball, you acknowledged it when white had the ball, you blew the whistle. A little bit slow on the whistle doesn't change the fact that you heard it and decided to grant it when white had the ball. White timeout, white ball.
