Exactly, this is where I screwed up (I'm glad you weren't
there!). In fact I didn't see the TO request until the
ball was clearly thrown-in. I was anticipating B's
timeout, I didn't see it initially but my whistle reacted
by itself as soon as I did. As you probably know there's
occasionally some leeway given when a TO is called by the
team which just scored, I think that's why coach A didn't
have a sh1t fit. Or maybe because I T'ed him in the first
half? (He had it coming.)
Oh, forgot to say, I did absolutely the wrong thing to
grant this TO, seeing as how neither I nor my partner
saw it earlier. Having screwed up by blowing the whistle
I did *not* want to go to the coach at that point and say
"Geeze, sorry coach, my bad, now you gotta throw it in again
after I give B a TO to set up their defense."
