And why didn't Coach A call a TO?!?

Just FYI:
(1) Coach A expected the whistle to be blown for the injury. Such a whistle had come, by a different crew, in a somehwat similar situation in the prior game.
(2) Coach A had one TO left and was trailing by 4 with 2:00 to go. (He trailed by 6 once the officials blew the whistle for the injury.)
(3) In the first half, Coach A had called his first time out this way:
Coach A (yelling): Time out white, time out white, time out white, time out white!
[Official blows whistle]
Coach A: (still yelling) time out white!
Official to Coach A: Coach, we can play it your way or we can play it my way. Don't try to embarrass me.
Coach A: I apologize, that wasn't my intention. I would not try to embarrass you.
[AFTER THE TIME OUT]
Coach A: Sorry again. That wasn't my intention.
[Later in the first half while Team A is being full-court pressed]:
Coach A (standing and making T-signal): Time out white!
No whistle blown. Team B steals the ball.
