Legal in NFHS. Not supposed to be allowed in NCAA (if the whistle is blown, it becomes an IW).

I was not aware of the IW part, so I looked it up in the casebook. A.R. 155. That's really a great result for the team requesting the TO. They get the ball pack at POI and they don't have to burn a TO.

Quote:
Timeouts Not Charged A.R. 155. Player A1 is airborne and momentum is carrying him/her out of bounds. A1, while airborne and in control of the ball, requests a timeout. The official: (1) Inadvertently blows the whistle; or (2) Blows the whistle and immediately grants a timeout. RULING: In both (1) and (2), the officials shall not recognize this request. The official’s whistle is an inadvertent whistle that caused the ball to become dead. Play will be resumed at the point of interruption by awarding the ball to Team A, the team in control, at a designated spot nearest to where the ball was located. Before placing the ball at Team A’s disposal for a throw-in, the official is permitted to inquire as to whether Team A still wants a timeout. (Rule 4-39, 4-53.1.a, 5-12.1.c and 7-5.16) |

Agreed. If I was a college coach, I'd be teaching my players to call timeout anyway in that type of situation.

Problem is that technically we'd be ruling something a violation that had not occurred yet when the whistle had blown.
I look at it just like the correctable error rule, the price for the OFFICIAL being wrong ends up hurting one team and we need to get the play right in the first place or live with the rule book consequences.

Or just charge the timeout and move on.
