It was an AAU game. That is the problem right there. Many of those tournaments play by NCAA rules. Most of the people who serve as coaches and team managers are NOT associated with high school sports. They are NOT familiar with NFHS rules. They only know what they see on TV.

Of course, you are correct for NFHS play, but to continue the point that I made above, the rule in the NCAA is a little different.
Here is the NCAA rule:
BR-99 RULE 5-9/SCORING AND TIMING REGULATIONS
RULE 5 Scoring and Timing Regulations
Section 9. Stopping Game and Shot Clocks
Art. 5. Recognizes a request by the head coach or a player for a timeout after a goal until a player on the team putting the ball in play from the end line is positioned out of bounds with the ball.
