If this happens to me in my State Tournament game later this month, I'm handling it just as you did.

Do you have a head state clinician or someone above this state observer you can discuss this call with? I find it very disturbing that he would tell you to ignore an obvious time out request and in fact recommend a concocted story to justify ignoring the request. I'm glad he's in your state and not mine
I agree with this. Get the call right. Don't ever compromise your integrity. You did a great job!
Game management does not equate to lying. That observer is part of the problem with sportsmanship in HS sports. He is a coward and can go straight to he11.
