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.

NCAA-M now uses this rule. Most of us don't like it, myself included. The rule change has just created undue confusion and doesn't help the situation presented in the OP. You still have to judge whether or not there is control. It doesn't matter if the request comes from a player or the coach...

when in doubt, grant
I tend to lean towards granting the timeout if it is 50/50 on PC.
I am ok with any official granting, but only if they are confident there is PC. If the opposing coach is concerned, I will tell him he will get the same latitude when he wants a TO. As a game management tool, we are better off to grant TO's then to ignore when PC is debatable.

So lets say you talk your partner out of the timeout.
What are you going to do now, go IW then either give the ball back to A if they didn't loose possession and the coach now gets a freebie, or give the ball to B if they took control? |
