I think I've seen discussions here saying that you guys would prefer that they do it this way and may even suggest to players and coaches that they do it this way to avoid confussion. But do the rules require it? Looking at the NCAA rules they tell the timer to stop the game clock when either an oral or visual request for timeout is granted. So that would make me think this guy is wrong.

I do not know what guys prefer as to do with this issue. A timeout can be granted verbally or visually in either the NF or NCAA (without knowing the current changes).

I was just curious to hear the answer from you guys. I'm sure his logic is flawed, but I wondered where.

I think you are confusing a couple of issues (not necessarily you, but the person making the argument). The rules allow for a player to have control of the ball and call a timeout at the NF and NCAA levels (NCAA is rumored to change this for next year). The shot clock has to do with the ball touching the rim, not whether you have possession or not. You cannot use logic from one rule and take it to another rule. Calling a timeout and the shot clock resetting are two entirely different things.
