Is this junior college? Are we using NCAA-W rules?
If so, then my next question would be: was the player in the air going OOB at the time she requested the TO? If so, then the ruling would be an IW, no TO granted, with the ball going back to team A. There was a case play or interp when this rule was changed that states if the official blows the whistle to grant a TO when the team is not entitled to such, it is treated as an IW, with the ball going back to the team last in control (even if she eventually landed OOB).
If there was still part of the player on the floor inbounds as she was going OOB, then yes, the TO is granted, the T assessed for the excessive TO, and B would get the ball for the ensuing throw-in due to loss of possession instead of POI.
If you are using Fed. rules, the TO is granted, the T is assessed, and B gets the throw-in at the division line.
