timeout question
4th quarter. Team "a" is out of timeouts. Player 32A has ball. Coach calls time out. Official blows whistle, and grants timeout.
Upon discovery they have no timeouts left, the officials:
1. Call a technical foul
2. Grant timeout prior to player 2B shoots saying the coach "bought the timeout by the issuance of technical foul"
Is this correct procedure as well as rule interpretation? I have looked for rule interpretation to back this procedure.
Any help please
