PS The game is resumed with a Team A throw-in from where A1 threw the ball as that is the POI.

The original post says that the official sounded the whistle for a timeout request. Does that imply that the timeout has been granted, or does the official have to notify the table before a timeout has actually been granted?
Could this be handled as an inadvertent whistle if the table hasn't been notified?
