Live Ball Timeout, Or Not ???

[ilyazhito]

I would have granted the timeout request. The player had control of the ball and was the one who made the request. I would have blown the whistle, said, "Timeout, white", designated the spot, and sent the teams to their benches. I would then report the timeout and tell my partners about the situation. If needed, I would blow the whistle multiple times to ensure all action stops.
