The point is not whether it was feasible to actually have requested a TO during the short window of time; the question asked is wether there was such a window.
Consider this, if A's coach is requesting TO, repeatedly, during this process, would you have granted it. The point of Nevada's question is simple, unless there was a window, no matter how brief, during which a TO could be granted, then you never had player control. Without player control, there is no team control, and thus no BC violation.
A controlled tap does not give you player control. If he grabbed it and threw it, then you were right.
On this play, I'd err on the side of no control.
