Not a contradiction, just less info in the rule book than there is in the case book. The rule book says that a time-out shall not be granted. The penalty for requesting a time-out when you don't have any left is always a technical foul.
The case book is trying to clarify the difference between calling an "extra" time-out during regulation as opposed to calling an "extra" time-out after regulation, but before the extra period. During regulation, a team that is out of time-outs and asks for one gets a technical foul, but they also get the time-out. In this special case, they get a technical foul, but that does NOT buy them a time-out.
