4-12-1: Control, Player: A player is in control of the ball when he/she is holding or dribbling a live ball.
5-8-3-A: Time-Out, Stopping Play: Time-out occurs and the clock, if running, must be stopped when an official: Grants and signals a player’s/head coach’s oral or visual request for a time-out, such request being granted only when: The ball is at the disposal or in control of a player of his/her team.
There is team control but no player control during an interrupted dribble, or when a ball is being passed among teammates.
Officials would not grant a request for a timeout during these two situations.
