So I am saying is an assistant or player on the bench allowed to call and timeout and if not, can they be given a T when granted one, and there team does not have a timeout

No an assistant(#2) or player on the bench is not permitted request a timeout. In the situation you describe, if their actions significantly confuse an official that the timeout is granted I'll give them a choice: they can either accept the timeout with the resulting T, or just get a T for USC/bench decorum - either way they're getting a T.
