I didn't see the game, but the thought that comes to mind is this:

If the whistle was blown (either inadvertently or to grant a timeout), how does that give the player permission to come on the court? If I call a timeout, and a player comes running onto the court, I'm probably going to T him up for leaving the bench.
this is a good point, and my point at the time, too. A whistle could have been for anything. If I blow my whistle for a traveling call, and a bench player comes screaming onto the court, he's risking a T. Not saying I would have called this one, but the fact that there may or may not have been an inadvertent whistle doesn't absolve this player of responsibility.
