A slightly interesting one

Tie game, 5 seconds to go. L1 on the line to shoot a 1-and-1. First shot misses. W1 rebounds. The LEAD official on the FT (now the TRAIL on the defensive missed-FT rebound) is from the city of W and twice ignores W2's request for a TO. W2 runs over to the ref from the city of L and requests a TO. The timeout is granted (in that the official blew his whistle - I do not know if he 'pointed' to the Team W bench). At the time of the whistle, there was 1.0 seconds on the clock. The clock runs out and the buzzer sounds.

1. Why did he ignore the request for a TO? Once I can see. Twice is suspect.
2. Did the official who granted the TO give the T?
3. Did they consider it a timer's error and put time on since there was only 1.0 left?

Here's my guess on what happened: "W ignores the TO requests and then "L" grants it. L gives them a T for the extra T0. Because there is 1.0 on the clock and the clock didn't stop the game would be over except for the T. W hits one of the free throws. L fan's and coaches go nuts. Do I win?
