Team B just stole the ball and was heading the other way when he granted a timeout to team A because one of their players requested it. Guess what? Team A was out of timeouts at the time! This was in the last two minutes of a three point game (team A ahead).

Let's use this as a discussion topic. What would you have done? What do you think I did (knowing I like to stick to the letter of the rules most every time).

OK, I think I've been a student of Mr. Padgett long enough to know what happened.

You granted the T/O at the expense of a Technical Foul for Team A, and afterwards awarded the ball to Team B.
