Well you have options. If you think you have information that is contrary to the book then you can check with the books kept by both teams, or you can check with play by play. If either of these don't work then you have to go with what the official book says. If the book is any good then they would have marked the time out's called and in what quarter, check the book.

Ultimately you will have to go with the official book if you haven't found any information that contradicts the official book.
