Tony, I agree it would not have mattered. It would also have been a moot point if the officials called one of the two travels he had before he asked for the timeout. One of them was "at least" 2 steps. I am a Duke fan, but I was rooting for NC that night (ACC fan).

True, but I missed a travel once myself, so I forgave the official, after Donald Williams knocked down the FTs!

No, I'm not psychic but I'm not an idiot either. If it isn't obvious to you then I guess it's good that you don't officiate it.
If a player is falling OOB, he's obviously requesting TO to prevent the turnover. If he violates prior to requesting the TO, I have to call the violation first. If he still wants the TO after I call the violation, he can have it. I'M NOT CONCERNED WITH WHETHER HE HAS A TO LEFT OR NOT.
If runs up to me and requests timeout at the end of the game, he's obviously requesting timeout to stop the clock. I'll give it to him. I'M NOT CONCERNED WITH WHETHER HE HAS A TO LEFT OR NOT.
