Well, that might be part of your problem.
All the stuff you mentioned in that post, otherwise, is about judgement on contact and how tight or loose to call it based on advantage gained/lost. That is all good, but it has absolutely nothing to do with this case. It wasn't like he started to make the time out signal and stopped, realizing they didn't have any. He emphatically requested it and continued to request it. For it to not be called (if seen) is pathetic.
It may have been a travesty, but it wouldn't have been on any of the officials....it would be on the player making the boneheaded timeout request.
