To minimize the damage, I recommend that the officials decide what the call is, call both coaches out and notify them of the decision, and then commence the timeout officially. That obviously doesn't help you to get the call right, but saves me a little bit of anger because I know going into the timeout what will occur coming out instead of having the switcheroo.
In this specific case, it sounds like it is not exactly a bang-bang call. The ball has progressed up court> Perhaps you can deduce from where the ball was when he blew his whistle that it had already been inbounded? I am stumped as to what other source of information you would have, especially unbiased information. The timer and scorer may be, but they also may be the two people that the home team has working the table.
