Shouldn't the rule also include verbiage about the airborne player also havinging control of the ball. The way the rule reads, you should not grant a timeout if there is an airborne player who might land OOB or in the backcourt (ball control not mentioned).

I think you are reading too much into the statement. What I quoted was not in the actual rules section of the rulebook. This was just a highlight of the new rules. Also it is made clear in all the interpretations that control of the ball does not change as it relates to calling a timeout. They just changed the rule to basically mimic the NBA rule and to disallow an airborne player to ask for a timeout.
