Do you grant this timeout?

Now lemme ask this one: do I bring this up in a friendly manner before the game when we're greeting coaches and say "Oh, by the way, I looked up that OOB issue and found that...." Or should I just attempt to let sleeping dogs lie?

Do I gain anything by telling him? Do I lose anything by not telling him?

Remain silent, unless he brings it up. After all, you were correct, so there's nothing to explain. You have no obligation to defend a call. The coach has the obligation to prove you wrong, not the other way around.
