shooter catches, adjusts feet, dribbles, bounce it away
coach yells, "Time Out!!"
ref whistles, signals violation
ref turns to coach and asks, "Do you still want the TO?"

Is that correct?
If I was being evaluated, and I used the procedure you did, I would expect a checkmark!

(Assuming you left out the part where the official voices how many shots are left, since that part of the situation was understood.)
