Coach, as I'm sure you know, granting a coach's request for a time-out is rather low on an official's priority list in situations where the ball is heavily pressured. I don't know the exact situation in that article, but if "while he was screaming, the ball was stolen", I'm not sure the request could be verified and granted. Just my two cents, but I would hesitate to say that the official earned his earful. No official gives a coach an earful over a bad coaching move. . .
