Thank you very much for the replies. This is exactly how I did handle this situation at the time. I am now attempting to get a low rating removed from my record because the coach cited this instance as a poor officiating performance on my part. This was his write up on me to the state association: "In the JV contest, we made a bucket coach called time-out when ball went through hoop. Bob let FA inbound ball, when I stood up and said my coach called T/O he said FA already had possession, when In fact FA kid was standing in paint waiting to take it out of bounds." It is obvious that the time out request was not recognized by any of the three officials on the court, otherwise, we would have immediately granted it. And this is a HS varsity coach.

I'd reply thusly:
The coach is correct that I made an error in this situation. As described, the V coach stood up to talk to an official during the JV game in which he was not the head coach. As soon as this happened, I should have issued a technical foul. I regret the error.
