Grant time-out or not? (FIBA Rules)

Correct, however in the OP Team B scores and therefore Team B cannot sub.

As for the timeout, the refs blew the whistle, so isn't it a dead ball and therefore a timeout opportunity? Not really sure how FIBA handles this. Personally I would probably not allow the timeout unless the game is already decided.

During the last two minutes of the game, Team A has requested substitution, and the player is sitting ready at the substitution bench.

Team A then scores a basket, which does not create a substitution opportunity for them (only if Team B scores).

However, by mistake, the table blows the horn and the ref's blow their whistle - thinking that the other team might have asked for a time-out.

After not allowing the substitution, the coach of Team A then requests a time out.

Should this time out be granted?

If the officials had done their job correct, he could not get the time-out, but should he now be allowed in this case, or can the mistake by the officials be disregarded, and should we continue without time-out and substitution?

I don't agree with you that in the OP, Team B scored.

I already mentioned how FIBA handles this: an erroneous whistles does not create a substitution opportunity that didn't previously exist. Well, at least, that's how I was taught.

How do you call two donkeys on one thread?
