Team control isn't relevant for a timeout request. "Player control" must be in place for a timeout to be granted during a live ball. The
only exception to this is when the ball is at the disposal of the thrower during a throwin, the coach of the throwin team may also request a timeout. During a pass, while team control is still present, a timeout may not be granted. If it was just team control, then a timeout could be granted during an interrupted dribble. Or a team could call timeout after the ball flies back to the backcourt to avoid the backcourt violation.

Again, not relevant. A player whose momentum carries her OOB (this is considered an authorized reason) may come back in and be the first to touch the ball. It's the refs who call this incorrectly who perpetuate this myth.

Prewrap is the stuff they put on underneath athletic tape to prevent the tape from sticking to the skin. NFHS has specifically stated it's allowed and color is not an issue.
Coach, you're probably not going to get anywhere with these during a game, unfortunately. Your only viable recourse would probably be through your state association or through your AD to the assigners of your area. Missed rules should be addressed, but coaches aren't going to have any luck during a game.
At best, you might want to suggest they check the rule when they get home that night. It might work, if you do it politely enough. Don't be too surprised, though, if the response costs you the coaching box.
