How about the calling official having good situational awareness. If I think I hear "time-out" being called by the coach of the team who has team and player control while said player is on a break-away with under 3-seconds left I'm ignoring it if I'm the lead (focusing on potential travel, foul, intentional foul calls) and if I'm the trail I'm looking at the coach to see if he is indicating a TO. Coaches who want TO's in the final minute of a quarter tend to be quite demonstrative.
