Logically, I can't justify rewarding B coach with a timeout. That said, it was officials goof.
Couldn't a coach try and slip that in from time to time on defense, knowing you may get a break on an inadvertant whistle?

I don't have my books with me, but I believe there is a specific case play. Bottom line is, the ball is dead once you blow the whistle. Even if you want to call it an inadvertent whistle because you shouldn't have granted the TO, now that the ball is dead, he can have his TO and there is no rule that says otherwise.
