Timeout ...

This (above) really doesn't matter because once the inadvertent whistle is sounded, then the coach can legally request, and legally be granted, a timeout. It's a dead ball. There is no player, or team control. It's probably not a successive timeout when playing time expired for the fourth period, or any extra period. Probably no inured, or disqualified, player to attend to. The ball has probably already become live to start the game. How can you legally stop the coach from requesting, and being granted a timeout, even if it's a time out in excess of the allotted number? When the coach says, "Why not", what will you tell him? "Because I'm your mother."? Wait? I'm being told ... Whose mother? Mine? Ignore the last part.
