There can be a brief, but legitimate delay between the TO request and the whistle, because unless we're looking at or standing right next to the coach when the request is made we have to quickly verify the request before blowing the whistle. What matters is was there player control at the moment the request was made, not when the whistle is blown.
This is the reason I wish they would change the rule back to the way it used to be and not let the coach request a timeout when the ball is live - request has to come from a player.
