We herd both coaches back to their benchs and come together. We decide we do not have any type of correctable error, we will charge white with a time out, and give the ball back to black. We explain to both coaches the call was an officials error, not correctable, and get the game going. .
Would anybody have done anything differently?

It's an accidental or inadvertant whistle, not a correctable error.
You only had 4 choices by rule, depending on the exact situation.
1) If white had possession when the whistle blew, then white will get charged with the TO and will also get the ball for the throw-in.
2) If neither team had possession(player control) when the whistle blew, then the team with team control would get the ball for a throw-in. Rule 4-36-2(a)
3) If neither team had possession or team control , such as after a missed shot, you go with the arrow. Rule 4-36-2(c).
4) If Black had possession of the ball when the whistle blew, black will get the throw-in after White's TO. Rule 4-36-2(a).
No matter what, in all cases once your partner awarded the TO to White, White will get charged with it. Casebook play 5.8.3SitE.
Just get together and decide who had the ball or whether it was loose when the whistle blew. That decides which one of the 4 situations above is applicable.
