No ripping for you Dave, I think this is just one of those infamous "rule on items not specifically covered in the book" situations.
I think the coach had a legit beef, I think the call was wrong. And I agree that if a minute or so went by I might have pulled the old inadvertent whistle trick. Actually I would have called a TO for B and then acted innocent, " well I thought I heard timeout, oh well my bad, inadvertent whistle"
Wouldn't it have been more humorous to just ask the PG if he planned on finishing the game or something just as dumb? It would have pushed him along and niether team would have been "punished".
