Last week, one of my partners had a similar situation.
Team A went into a "stall offense," being up 2 points with 0:45 seconds left to play in the game. The gym was very loud. Coach A starts yelling "Five Out, Five Out, Five Out." My partner interperts this to be "Time Out." I see the similarity since we were in a loud gym.
The coach responds with the typical deer-in-the-headlights look and calmly tells my partner that he was calling "five out," the offensive play he wanted his team to execute. My partner explained the situation to the other coach and we resumed play at the POI with an "inadvertent whistle" ruling.
Team B ended up fouling Team A and A1 missed the first shot of the 1-and-1. Team B secures the rebound and goes into a stall offense and end up winning the game on a three-point shot as the horn sounded.
I don't have my book with me, anything in the book about inadvertent whistle situations? I don't think there is...
