Had a situation somewhat similar to this this weekend, A1 has the ball, A coach calls timeout; I hear it and see the ball in A1's hand, I turn to make sure it is the A1 coach calling for it. In the time it took me to turn my head to verify who called it and blow my whistle (maybe a second and a half), B1 had stolen the ball and was beginning a fast break. I ended up awarding the timeout to A and giving them the ball (as if the steal never happened). B coach was of course not happy. At least mine occured in the first quarter and not in the last minute.
