The answer must be false because the clock on an official's TO after an incomplete pass will start on the snap, not on the ready. It is a play on words.

The period following an incomplete pass is not an official's timeout.

Official's timeouts are:

a. For measurement of a possible first down.
b. When a first down is declared.
c. Following a change of team possession.
d. When captains and coaches are notified of the time remaining.
e. For a player who appears to be injured.
f. For a player in need of equipment repair.
g. To dry or change the game ball.
h. For unusual heat or humidity which may create a health risk to the players.
i. When a coach-referee conference concerning the misapplication of a rule results in the referee altering his ruling. (See 3-5-11)

j. After a foul, to administer the penalty.
k. For any unusual delay in getting the ball ready for play.
l. For a TV/radio time-out that is permitted and granted as authorized by state association policy.
m. For a one-minute intermission between the first and second and the third and fourth periods and following a try, successful field goal or safety and prior to the succeeding free kick.
