I would not go the to scorer in this case. If the coach has been reasonable all game and we've been communicating well, I might (and I stress might) get together with the coaches for a discussion and explain our ruling. "Coaches, we have a granted timeout as time expires. My whistle blew a split nanosecond before the horn sounded. By rule, the officials can adjust the time if they have definitive knowledge of the proper time to be put back onto the clock. All three officials looked at the clock after the whistle and it read 0.0. By rule, the game is over. Good luck the rest of your season." OK, after typing all that out, I would not get the coaches together after all. It's too long winded
