My other partner, at the L, runs up and says he has a time out on the bench. The partner at L never blew his whistle that either my partner nor myself heard, he said he blew it. The L and the T confer and award the time-out. The visiting fans and coach go nuts. I am across the courtas the C, and I am the referee, should I have stepped in and assisted with the decision. I wasn't sure what to do so I held my post since I had the only eyes on the court. Could someone let me know if as the R, should I have had a more dominant role in that decision. Just wondering....
Hope it's not too confusing!

As C, you are there to assist. You were opposite and observing the benches from time to time, or you were very busy watching the players.
At what, exactly, were you looking? Could you have seen the request? Could you have seen there was no timely request.
