It is possible for .1 second to come off the clock between the coach calling the timeout and the official granting the timeout; some time probably should come off.
I didn't see the questionable timeout in the championship game, but is it possible this happened? If so, there is the answer to that one. If that wasn't the case, everybody - including (gasp!) a national championship official - can make a mistake. Did Howland have a legitimate beef? He probably did.
