I thought it was more likely that coach came running on late and official gave him benefit of the doubt instead of calling a T; tough situation for a ref if that is what happened.

No, it's not hard to imagine. I just tried it and found it easy.
I didn't see this one so I can only speculate.
Perhaps the coach said "Time-out", the official "heard" it but it didn't register at first. The coach says it a 2nd or 3rd time and now the ref gets it and realizes the coach was asking for that all along...and, with a late whistle, grants the timeout.
