[Hawks Coach]

9th boys. H down by 1, racing down the court for a last shot. I'm lead, got the whole play in my sights. A1 takes a running J from about 13 feet on a 45 degree approach, on my side. Shot goes up, misses, B1 gets rebound.
Tweet!
"Huh?" I wonder as I look at partner.
"Timeout H!" he says.
V coach offers a little resistance, but immediately returns to drawing up a defense for a last second shot attempt; again.
A1 misses the second last second shot, V wins, and all is okay. Partner realizes he should have held the whistle.

Evaluator says the same thing.

I agree with JR. This sounds like you compounded one error by making yet another. If the reason that the TO should not have been granted was that B had ball and A requested TO, you have to grant the TO once you blow the whistle. But you DO NOT give the ball to A - that never should have occurred. You fess up to the error in granting the TO request, apologize to the B coach, and let everybody know that it's B's ball coming back in.
