Why would you do that? The time-out was requested and granted. The fact that it shouldn't have been granted to this particular person doesn't give the team the option to now decline it.
If the assistant coach fools my partner into granting a time-out, that team is getting charged with one whether the travel is called or not.
Imo your only correct options are no traveling violation and a time-out or a traveling violation followed by a time-out.

In the case of a traveling violation then timeout, I will ALWAYS ask the coach if they still want the time out. In 99% of the cases, the idea is to get a timeout to avoid a violation/foul/turnover/etc. Once the violation is called, the situation has changed and it is only fair to not charge the timeout that was requested under different circumstances.
I tend to agree, but:

1. In your situation, it's a lot easier to say "my whistle was for the travel/foul/etc. - NOT to grant a timeout." In this case, a timeout has been granted by the fact that the T sounded his/her whistle to grant TO.

2. It was the assistant coach who "requested" the timeout. For pulling that sort of BS, I think the team should get charged with the TO.
