She looks at me and requests a timeout just before her airborne foot hits the floor OB. I granted the timeout. The other team was irate saying that I shouldn't have granted it.
Had she been completely airborne and tried to get a TO, I would not have granted. However, in the situation above, I was/am not familiar enough w/ the NCAA rule to reverse my decision and go w/ an OB violation instead.
Was I right in granting the TO? Thanks!

According to 5-12-1(c), you would be correct. An airborne player would not be granted a TO if their momentum was carrying them OOB or into the backcourt, but since one foot was on the ground, she would not be considered airborne.
