Did they ask the official what they saw? Do we have a quote as to why things turned out the way they did? Of course we do not. So taking only the coach's word on this is not the best thing to do if you want a real explanation.

Requesting a timeout for the coaches is not the only request that can be made. Players can make the same request. Officials are focused on players, not coaches. And when you have to take the focus of the officials off the players, you tend to cause problems like this where the clock might not be observed properly or a timeout is not granted in the right amount of time. That is why she is dumb along with every other coach that has stopped using their basic common sense because the rules give them an option.
