			I've whistled time-outs while the ball is in flight for a shot, after 5 seconds have elapsed during a throwin, after the ball gets tied up on the floor, while a pass is in flight, and after a player has stepped out of bounds; all because the time-out was requested while all of the necessary ingredients were in place.  Had the head of the state's officials comment only that my partner's whistle was late on a TO request, but otherwise it was valid.
