I see three options after the whistle blew.
1) the option we went with, determine the TO was requested before the shot.
2) Inadvertent whistle, TO for A, B ball.
3) Inadvertent whistle during the shot, TO for A, AP for ball.

Your P determined that the request came before the loss of player control. Regardless of what happens to the ball, I got a TO to A, and A's ball when we come back.
B didn't grab the rebound because there was no shot. All B did was jump up and catch a ball that bounced off the rim.
Similarily, had the basket gone in, there was no basket and all A did was throw a dead ball through his basket.
This is my understanding of the rule. If I missed something, someone please tell me. The calling official needs a (split-?)second to determine that
(a) it was in fact the head coach that requested the timeout (and not an assistant or player)
and
(b) that team A player still had player control when the request was made
