I call that revisionist history, but it's their story, so let them tell it! I think if you look close, you will see a player making the TO sign on the sideline, so I doubt he was saying no TO! Also, saying don't call timeout is always taking the risk that the word don't is not heard in the heat of battle, which leaves you with a very different instruction.
Bottom line is that of all the things you want players doing, near the bottom of my list is tracking TOs used over the course of a game. Coaching staff needs to do that. In any close game, I make it a point to let them know as the game gets near the end that we have all of our time outs, or 1 TO. Michigan did use it's last TO previously, and Fisher failed to emphasize during the TO that it was their last. Webber's TO was the result of an error, not the actual error.
