Shouldnt you have to have CONTROL of the ball and clear cut POSSESSION in order to call a time out?

You have to have one foot (or both) in bounds and control the ball in football for you to be considered to have posession.

So how can you be in the air and call a time out in Basketball?
I agree with you mrk about stupid rules. I watched a football game a month ago, and if I was the official there would have been so many fouls. Holding and pushing all over the place. But that isn't nothing, you should have seen all the intentional and flagrant fouls going on. One more thing, all you have to do cross that goal line for a score, no ring or basket to put the ball through. And kicking too, more kicking violations than you can shake a stick at!
