I believe that you are right. A team is in control when a player has the ball and when it is being passed between teammates. If the player had the ball as he was going out of bounds and requested a time-out (remember that only an official can call a time-out) I too would have granted the request. It was a good play on the part of the player and he should be rewarded, especially since it was legal.
Does everyone else agree with me?
