Shooter is in the act of shooting but hasn't released the shot? Grant the timeout, no continuation here.
These are easy to explain to any coach or assigner.
Now the airborne player flying out of bounds is another story. Grant the timeout, no rules basis, no casebook basis, easy to explain to my assigner, impossible to explain to a very intelligent coach who just moved to Connecticut (see above post). Calling this won't lower any evaluation, and won't get me taken off the varsity list (I've already taken myself off the varsity list due to a chronic orthopedic problem). It may cost me one state tournament vote by the new coach, but I can live with that, and I won't lose any sleep over it (I only worked one varsity game this year, so I doubt that I'm getting more than two votes, if that, anyway).

The only time I would have to explain anything to any of my supervisors is if I fail to grant a time out because the whistle came after the shot was released or after the throw-in was released.
Every supervisor I've worked for expects us to grant the timeout based on the status of the ball when we recognized the time-out was being requested.
