Cool Does this make me a hypocrite?

Maybe this will FINALLY give this closure:
JV game. Team A coach pulls a Pete Guillen and calls all of his TO's before the end of the 3rd. (He was up 10 most of the game). 1 minute into the 4th, Team B pressing, OOB count getting close to 5 (i assume, i was trail/new lead) and Team A player asks for the TO. Partner hesitates to grant the to. About that time, Team A player requests a TO from me. NO hesitation, Tweet "Time Out - White" Now comes the fun. Team A coach says we can't give him a TO or the resulting T since he had no more TO's and we knew it. Team B Coach says it is a Technical foul and Team A can't have the TO. I give Team A the TO, Team B 2 shots and the ball and off we go. After the game, partner says he wasn't going to grant the TO because they did not have any!! So I was properly educated by the board!!

BTW: My partner also told the official scorer each team had 2 Full's and 3 :30's EACH HALF. That was fun trying to correct!
