Just happened to me in a camp game today. I didn't get any flack for it, though I made sure to sell it. "[Loud voice] Time out, White, BEFORE blue had the ball!"
In my interpretation, since the whistle seldom causes the ball to become dead, it's the valid request that causes the ball to become dead. That's what gives Rich and I the latitude to rule in this fashion.
