Running the endline after a time out

This is another case where I'd like the time-outs given back to the players. Team A scores. Team B coach requests a time out. While you are hunting around for the head coach, make sure it's him, turn around, Team B has already inbounded the ball, when he actually requested time out before the throw in was made. So you grant the time out, now you have to award a spot throw-in, rather than run the baseline, which is what the coach wanted.

If the coach calls for timeout before the ball is inbounded and it takes me a second to recognize it, I'm giving them the end-line throwin rather than the spot throwin.
Same principal as when A1 grabs the ball and calls timeout just before falling out of bounds. The whistle never blows before he lands out of bounds, but you give him the timeout anyway. That's because you grant the time out based on when it was called, not when the whistle blows.
