When Coach A explains that he did not want the time out, especially to stop a fastbreak with 3 seconds remaining, the official charges Team A with a Full time out and says his call is uncorrectable.
Is there an inadvertent whistle rule that would deal with this situation?

So coach A, how did you handle it AFTER all that? Just curious, since there are the really classy coaches who take their TO and don't scream at the official, and the really jerk-y ones who scream at the officials and make total fools of themselves and everyone in the gym, and then there are the rest of us, who would get close to a T, but realize it was hopeless and grumble quietly until we got to the locker room.
And also, have you talked to that official's assignor or supervisor?
