I'm actually going to rule on the plays

1. A1 has very big hands. He is standing on the court holding the ball in his right hand. His hand is on the side of the ball and the hand is perpendicular to the court. B1 slaps the ball toward the sideline. A1's arm swings that way while still holding the ball but the momentum of the slap eventually makes the ball leave A1's hand and go OOB. Which team gets the throwin?

2. A1 (different A1) is an airborne shooter. While in the air, he releases the ball toward the basket and is fouled by B1 on his arm. Prior to returning to the floor, he is also fouled by B2. What's the call.

3. A1 (an even different A1) is holding the ball on the court. Coach B stands up to yell at the officials and in doing so, wets his pants. He requests a timeout. Do you grant it?
==================
1 - You know the right call - B's ball. You also know the correct call - A's ball.

2 - You know the right call - multiple foul, charge both B1 and B2 and shoot 2 throws. You also know the correct call - foul on B1, shoot 2 throws.

3 - B was standing and yelling. Assuming there is no coach's box in this state, you should T him, BUT ONLY if you know that he violated before he evacuated (loss of coaching box and the right to drink beverages). If the P came first and then he stood, the P takes precedence since it comes first in the alphabet (Sesame Street Casebook 2.4.5a (cookie monster interpretation)). If a coach's box is used, the coach is allowed to stand so just go with the flow.

As for the timeout, there is no control (ball or bladder) so no timeout can be granted. Once the ball is dead, you may grant the timeout if he raises his hand (open hand - a closed hand if there is a foul odor).
