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.

While not really correct, most officials allow the team to run in this case.
If you really want to be strict about it, you could tell the coach that his players should have been looking for his TO request as well, perhaps even making one of their own, and not inbounded the ball.
Oh, if you are using a shot clock, you have to reset it if you are going to allow the team to have the endline.
