FWIW, I think everyone's kinda piling on Todd Pen. He just asked for a rule clarification from an expert source. Maybe he wants to be a snot with the official that made the call, but I think he was pretty respectful here. Why the nastiness?

I agree. Nevada was "wrong" to use "clearly you have never read a book" (or whatever teh exact phrase was, Todd was worng to "gloat" and to over-react to Nevada, the official was wrong in his phrasing (if the report by Todd was accurate), .....
It's the official's judgment as to when the throw-in begins. If the time out request was before then, the official was correct to grant it. It's clear that in Todd's opinion, the request was made after the throw-in began. Officials have made worse mistakes. Shrug.
