However, the new Lead has got to be looking to the bench, anticipating that the coach might want a timeout. With .9 left, it probably wouldn't have made any difference but he didn't and he should have.

Agree as well, but the thrower in should of called TO (clock stopped) instead of hastily passing it in, making it tough for the officials to grant a TO thats being called behind them.
My ultimate point is that the players are so used to the coaches calling TO nowadays that game awareness in these situations by the players is becoming a lost art.
