It is not the clock operators job to stop the clock when a coach yells timeout. The clock operator should respond only to the officials.

And BY RULE the whistle stops the clock, not the official thinking that he is granting a time-out request. There is no provision for restoring time which ticks away prior to the sounding of a whistle.
