30 or full coach?
thoughts?

A timeout can only be granted to a team with player control or during a dead ball. Team control is not sufficient to be able to call a timeout. There must be player control. The ref in your situation got it wrong and paid the price. Unfortunately for the other team, once the ref grants the timout, there's no turning back.
