In this particluar instance, you're probably right. But, in general, Nevada is right, I think. If the action is right in front of the official, his/her responsibility is the play. In this case, it doesn't sound like there was heavy pressure right in front of the Trail, so s/he probably should've taken a peek at the bench.
But my own opinion is that an official's first responsibility is to the play on the court. Granting a coach's request for TO is a courtesy, when conditions allow it.
