You know, I might buy that if they blew the whistle and waved the basket off right away...
Basketball Rule Fundamentals (FED rulebook, pg. 77):

#16. The official's whistle seldom causes the ball to become dead (it is already dead).
True...knew that and don't disagree with that at all (not sure what it has to do with my question, tho)...but where do you get support for stopping the play, having a conversation in which the coach says he/she whistled to get players attention, and THEN deciding that we will take away the points AND T the coach???? If you hit the whistle as soon as you hear the coach's whistle and signal the T right away, I might be fooled into thinking you knew what you were doing (for a little while anyway)...that's what I meant by "buying" it...
