Crap, I kicked that one. I thought I remembered that there was a casebook play similar to the high school rule. But there clearly is not. NCAA 5-12 says clearly that a timeout shall not be granted unless there is player control by the requesting team. So even if you blow the whistle, you don't grant the timeout. So I was wrong on #5, which means I was wrong on #6.
Having said that, it really doesn't do much good to go over and dispute it because the conversation will go like this:
You: They can't have the timeout because they didn't have player control.
Partner: Shoot, you're right. No timeout.
Coach: Since the ball's dead anyway, can I have the timeout?
You: (Awkward silence)
