Back to the question...

My team went on to win but the opposing team is dissatisfied with the way the game ended.Is there anything that they can do about the situation?
IF the team requesting a time-out (TO) was NOT the inbounding team, the TO request would not be acknowledged by the official because your the ball had been given to the inbounder prior to the request (this is a live ball situation where only the inbounding team can be granted a TO). Nor would the official grant the TO once the ball was inbounded, because it would STILL be in possession of the "non-requesting" team.

Make sense?
