We always exercise our personal judgement even if the rule is perfectly clear.
What if the player said, "I DIDN'T CALL A TIME OUT, I said 'sideout'!" If the headcoach request for it, then it's a different case.
Your evaluator would also question your game-awareness. "Chi, you know White doesn't have any more time out, why did you grant it?" Your reply would be, "because I'm the only person in the entire gym that heard it." Not buying it!
Grant the time out if the player says it "loud enough" (now with that you really need to use your judgement) or if he/she signals the time out. Game tape will always back you up if the player signals it, but cannot prove that he said timeout.
