Ignore timeout request?

At the time, I was a kid that thought I could beat the man. Were I to find my self in a situation where my assignor, association or any other authority were to tell me to side aside a rule in a similar manner without putting it on paper and notifying all parties involved (i.e. the teams), I'd simply refuse to call the games. As much as I love calling games, it isn't my job and I have the wisdom to take a stance in a more appropriate way.

The 49 fouls called in the game - 10 in the final 3 minutes - between the two worst teams in the conference on the last day of the regular season suggest otherwise.

If you have access to WatchESPN, the replay of the game is at this link - http://es.pn/1CIwK3z. The play in question happens with just over 30 seconds to play in 2nd half.
