The discrepancy came when in order of action.
I begin the bouncing motion to the free throw shooter
Coach (loud enough that the whole gym hears) requests a time out pretty much as soon as the first action occurs
Ball reaches free throw shooter
My partner blows the whistle
I wanted to get into the intricacies of when the time out is granted versus the actual whistle being blown with the coach after the game (since i walked right by him after i changed and was leaving the facility), as well as clarify a bit on the concept of disposal and live ball dead ball but knowing his personality it would have been a waste of calories.
By saying I couldn't find anything that proved I was wrong was that I found what proved me right.
@Smitty - it is not an embarrassment to address a fan. There are situations when it might happen. Right before in bounds before a quarter a fan has asked me about something that happened in the game and depending on how they ask I could very well offer them an answer.
