So let's say you're refereeing a high school and the same situation applies. As the player is throwing the ball, he asks for a timeout. So you're going to award him the TO because he has control. In my mind, he doesn't have control for a timeout and thus this should not be a backcourt violation. I would like to hear other views on this play as it is common enough.
