How does that fall in line with a player or team mate calling a TO while they are OOB-which was the nit being discussed?  The one above is just a simple example of a player holding a live ball in bounds.Different nits completely.

That whooshing sound you heard was this one going over your head, JR. So I'll slow it down for ya.
We are returning from a TO to shoot free throws and Team A doesn't break their huddle as required after the first horn and is still at their bench after the second horn, so the official uses the resuming-play procedure and places the ball at the disposal of the free thrower by putting it down in the semi-circle and the proper official starts the ten second count. Now a smart player from Team A who is still OOB at his team's bench realizes that they are going to violate and requests a TO. No player holding the ball inbounds and the TO request comes from a player who is OOB.
Hence, my nit!
