Do you whistle to kill the clock, knowing that he will benefit from it?

If I hear it, then yes. If Team A scores late in the game, the coach is right behind me if I'm the T or C. How can I justify to my assignor/conference commissioner that I did not hear someone 3 feet away say "Timeout"?

I don't see how the casebook comment could be stretched to include timeouts.
