I do not agree with much of your posts but I do want to present a situation with your above thought process regarding "mentally" granting the timeout. You're the L, A1 calls the timeout right in front of you at the split second, almost simultaneously of the horn going off, you hear it and mentally register it as hearing the word time or timeout right at the buzzer, buzzer goes off, T who has last second shot responsibility blows whistle to end the game almost simultaneously when you blow yours for the timeout, are you going to tell your partner that you mentally had the timeout because A1 called one a split second prior to the buzzer? I think this was asked earlier in the thread, but how much time would you consider putting on the clock, .01, .00?
I apologize if this topic was debated before and we're going over old stuff.
