In our association we are instructed to only switch on shooting fouls. When we call a foul, we are to clear the players to a point where we have a clear line of sight with the table (but at least past the free-throw line extended).
For a TO, the official who grants also reports to the table. The official "with the ball" handles the throw-in when play resumes. So, if the ball is in my area and I grant a timeout; I report it to the table, place the ball where the throw-in will occur (unless it is in front of the bench) and take my designated position (top of key for 30 sec., low box opposite side if full).
So in your situation, if it is a shooting foul that was reported, the partner would be taking care of the ball, I just report and go to my spot. If it is a non-shooting foul, I would still go to my spot but what I do after the TO would depend on where the ball was when play was stopped by my whistle.
Do I have you sufficiently confused?
