A few thoughts
First, as part of your pregame let your partner know what you have observed. There is no difference between you observing such as a spectator and as a ref during a past game. Next I would think about the trail setting-up his ark further back than normal. (Because of my lack of speed I do it all of the time.) If you set the top closer to the division line circle, your field of vision should be wide enough to keep an eye on not only the ball but the guard cutting across to make his hit. Or, the T can move himself OOB, down low where he is looking through the ball and towards the movement to the other side.
As to the timeout situation I really see little problem with it. JRs references should cover it. But if you want more info take a look at the Officials Manual diagram 27, page 44. On a 30 second TO the T is close to the table. So what you the have here is, Coach, the position shown in the Officials Manual I have to take is here. Both teams must be in front of me so I can watch them. Please move back NOW. What can he say? Another track is to tell him that his players are creating an unsafe situation by bringing water onto the court. If you see that again, you will have to take the appropriate action. In this way, you can let him have his TO out on the court but for safety reasons you are not allowing water. What can be said about that?
The last thing, your statement Guard stops and passes on side away from Trail (2-man) then immediatly takes off for the other side of the lane and while the Trail is watching the ball (still in his primary area) the offensive guard throws an illegal block. If I may say, read and remember 4.19.3. An intentional foul will stop this ASAP.
Let us know how it goes.
