I think you missed the point. The difference Billy is talking about is "full" and "sixty." Like him, we're taught to say "sixty," and not "full."
What's the difference? In NFHS, all time outs are full. They all have a time limit, 30 or 60 seconds. I believe the term "full" came from the NBA, when they started having 20-second time outs. "Full" has just stuck with most, over the years.
Either way, if a coach says "full," he didn't say "thirty," so you have to give him a sixty.
