I had this in a game a few years back. Home team is winning by 3 points at the end of the game and visitors are pressing full court. Visitors make a basket to go down by 1. On the ensuing end-line throw in, with too much pressure, home player who is trying to inbounds the ball calls time out. Her team has none left and I had already told the coach.
I granted the time out and then signaled the technical. It was no secret. Truly everyone in the gym knew it. The girl was so distraught, it hurt to watch.
Visitors hit one of two free throws and miss a shot at the end of regulation time. In overtime, visitors go up by 2 with seconds to go. Home has no timeouts (again), inbounds the ball and it ends up with the girl who had called the time out at the end of regulation. She throws up a 3-point heave from just over the division line that goes in as the horn goes off. It was really a joy to watch her joy.
