Time out

I think the common sense thing to do is to consider the erroneous timeout as an inadvertant whistle.

Rut is exactly correct that it is an inadvertant whistle. The official blew his whistle when he shouldn't have done so. The problem is that once the whistle blows, the ball is dead. And since either team can request a TO when the ball is dead, if the coach requests the TO again, you have to grant it.
