At that point the team receives the time out and who ever is entitled to the possession arrow receives the ball after the time out has ended.
Looking forward to your response.

I personally haven't heard this interpretation. Usually if a timeout is requested close to or simultaneously to a held ball call, you'll usually see the held ball call. I'm not sure if I really agree with the interpret, because the whole point of them calling a timeout is to try and save/gain possession. If there's a held ball, there's no point to the timeout. Now I'll ask coach if he still wants that timeout, but most likely he won't.
I'm sure someone will come along and prove me wrong though.
