HSWH,
This isn't basketball so at least with most of my schools, we're not dealing with a sub 1 second clock.
I'm saying that most kids wouldn't be able to get the ball snapped and legally spiked in a second. Maybe if they're the home team and it's their clock operator (but let's not go there).
So, I guess here's the question. In timing the game, is the time out "official" when the player REQUESTS it or when it is GRANTED to him by an official? I think this is where the disagreement lies. My interpretation of the rules is that the time out (clock stopped) when the official GRANTS the time out to the team. And, to do this takes some time to administer.
I guess WhiteHat9 was right about 50% agreeing with the call and 50% disagreeing.
