I'm assuming A rebounded the ball from the missed lay-up. The timeout is granted when an OFFICIAL recognizes it - not when the coach requests it. His players should have been aware of the situation and requested a timeout sooner. Too bad for team A, but they lose - game's over.

Similar situation happened to me last night. I'm at C, and A hits a layup to go ahead by 2 with about 0.6 on the clock. B requests a timeout, but by the time the L (new T) recognizes the request and blows his whistle, time expired. As R, I was sure the game was over. Thankfully, I was also backed up by lag time rules.
