It is possible that one of your partners in a normal situation might have acknowledged that a timeout is coming. But by rule no timeout has to be taken just because someone goes to the bench. Just do what you can to inform them there is no timeout and put the ball in play ASAP when everyone is ready.

That is what we did. I reported the foul. One of my partners asked "Was there a timeout?"
I said "I had a foul first."
I ask Coach "Do you still want it?"
Coach says "No"
Partners go to the huddles and say "No time out let's play."
H Coach asks me "What was the call"
I say "#1 was holding before the TO."
I could tell by his body language,H Coach wasn't obviously not happy as this was #1's 4th foul in the 1st half. He also just now realized there was a foul instead of TO. He accepted it and we moved on after about 60 seconds of confusion.
