JV game, team A being pressed deep in their own end. Coach A yells timeout as a full court length pass is in the air. Ball is caught by A2 near baseline at other end of court. Do you still grant the timeout to team A? Can the timeout be granted when the ball is in the air being passed from A1 to A2? I was trail, and my partner granted the timeout once the ball was caught by A2. Coach A didn't like it because he would've had a fairly easy 2 on 1 scoring opportunity. Right call or not?

Don't grant this time out unless it is re-requested after the catch. This problem usually happens when a coach tries to request TO before throw during a press and gets the words going just as the ball is released (this of course never happens to me because my teams would never have any problems against the press!). You cannot grant the timeout that was requested because there was no player control. So grant one when it is requested at the same time as A has player control, and only then.
