Just as the ball was about to be inbounded the Lead granted the TO. I didnt have a chance to talk to either to get an explanation. Is this addressed anywhere???
Yes, it's addressed in the rule book when it says that a time-out can be granted during a dead ball. There was a dead ball (regardless of how the dead ball came about - the inadvertant whistle) and the ref granted a T.O. End of story.
