Team A did not have any TOs left. The official (did not know team A was out of TOs) granted the TO granted the second request.
Question: If you knew Team A did not have any TOs left, do you grant the timeout? And obviously know this will be a tech on Team A or do you just continue play?

While he should have ignored the request due to the time it was requested, once the whistle was blown the timeout needs to be granted and the T called as well.
Coach may well be hoping you'll stop the clock and simply put the ball back in play once you realized B was not supposed to be able to request a timeout there.
