What?
I must be in the minority here, but I believe that the official did what was best. You cannot make up rules as you go along. If the player did not ask for a timeout, then none should be granted. You give the ball to the player, then if that player uses up the 5 seconds, too bad!!! It is not common sense to allow a player to tie their shoes. Are we going to allow players to stop play all the time because they need to tie there shoes?
