This...NCAA 5-15.1.c (No timeouts shall be granted unless there is player control by the requesting team). Amid the review they had to determine whether there was a shot-clock violation
and when Duke called its timeout. When they determined it was a shot-clock violation it meant Duke #21 (Jefferson) couldn't have had player-control so it became an inadvertent whistle.
The A.Rs I can find that are remotely close to this situation - as far as rescinding the timeout - are Men's 128/Women's 131.
Player A1 is airborne and momentum is carrying him/her out of bounds. A1, while airborne and in control of the ball, requests a timeout. The official:
(1) Inadvertently blows the whistle; or
(2) Blows the whistle and immediately grants a timeout.
RULING: In both (1) and (2), the officials shall not recognize this request. The official’s whistle is an inadvertent whistle that caused the ball to become dead. Play will be resumed at the point of interruption by awarding the ball to Team A, the team in control, at a designated spot nearest to where the ball was located. Before placing the ball at Team A’s disposal for a throw-in, the official is permitted to inquire as to whether Team A still wants a timeout. (Rule 4-20, 4-27.1.a, 5-15.1.c and 7-4.16(Men)/7-4.15(Women))
In this case, the POI would be Team B - Maryland - gaining control due to the violation.
During the review they also must have determined the possession began with 0:55.9 remaining, which explains the reset of the game clock to 0:20.9.
BTW, the "review" part of all this has been left out. I tried to put in what I thought was relevant.
