Was the timeout granted before the shot?

What's that got to do with it?

Everything. A coach can REQUEST a timeout all he wants, but if the official hasn't GRANTED it before the release of the shot, then so be it.

Why? If the coach requests the TO and the official grants it, he grants it because there was player control, when the request was made. Why would the shot count?
Why is it different than a player who saves the ball from going OOB but requests TO before landing OOB? Is the TO granted if the official doesn't blow his whistle until after the player lands? Of course it is.
