If it don't know who called it, and dont turn to verify (which i agree with previous comments, never turn your head away from the play), and DONT call the TO, time could expire with a frantic, red-faced coach yelling for time.
Once again, if you cannot identify the words of the head coach, do not grant the timeout. If they get upset, tell them it is not your job to turn around and look. They need to still have their players call timeout or one of your partners call the timeout. You still do not turn completely around to look at the coach. It does not matter what the situation is. You just do not turn around.

During a dead ball.

This is exactly how I would handle it as well. Trust your partner, who is facing the benches will see who is calling for the time out and make the call.
