The whistle is blown for the timeout.
The ball is transfered to the non-calling official.
The throwin spot is determined and the official responsible for that spot (no matter who called the timeout) will, after the timeout is reported, proceed to that spot with the ball while the other official proceeds to halfcourt.

Basically, imagine that a violation was called at the location of the ball. Whoever will administer the throwin to follow such a violation will be the one to go to the spot. The other official goes to half court.

Examples:

Lead calls timeout with the ball in the paint....lead reports timeout and, since the throwin spot is on the lead's line, the lead returns to the endline with the ball to mark the spot....trail goes to half court.

Lead call timeout with the ball on the opposite side and above the FT line. Lead reports timeout and goes to half court. Since the throwin spot is on the trail's line, trail goes to the spot.

Trail calls timeout with the ball in the paint.....trail reports timeout and, since the throwin spot is on the lead's line, the lead stays at endline with the ball to mark the spot....trail goes to half court.

Trail call timeout with the ball on the opposite side and above the FT line. Trail reports timeout and goes to half court. Since the throwin spot is on the lead's line, lead goes to the spot.
