Guys he threw the ball 50 feet from the baseline to the backcourt, you don't do this without controlling the ball. No I would not grant the timeout as the ball goes flying into the backcourt, the player is no longer in possesion of the ball which is required to call a timeout.
You can't have both ways, on one hand you say "control", then you say "no TO". If he had control, then he gets the TO.
