There is 2 to 3 seconds left in the game and you hear the request from the bench behind you (A's bench). By the time you turn around to verify whether or not it was the head coach requesting the time out, several things can happen on the court. B1 can tie up A1, A1 can travel, time can expire, etc. Granted, your partner needs to help out here but do you still turn from the play and verify the request?

As soon as I hear a timeout, I find the ball. (I usually know where it is anyways.) I then see who called it. If the timeout that was requested is grantable, the whistles goes, my arm goes up, my eyes grab times left in the period, and I point to the team's bench, push the whistle out of my mouth, and come out with a "TIMEOUT". I don't care if a held ball occured, a basket was scored or a naked woman is in the stands - there is a timeout first.
Simple call really.
