Not if we use their principle of if you would grant a timeout then team control exists.  Because if one is true then the corrollary is also true.  Namely, that if you wouldn't grant a time out then team control doesn't exist.  And this is blatantly not true.

 Nobody said crap about determining team control with that, and no one tied team control to a timeout.  The question is whether player control ever existed.  Player control is a requirement to establish team control, sure, but team control itself is irrelevant for a timeout.
As Billy pointed out, team control continues until the ball becomes dead, a shot is released, or the other team gains player control.
Let me spell this out again.
In order to have a BC violation in the OP, PLAYER control has to have existed with the pass rather than just a tip, because player control estalblishes team control.  Everytime.  Team control is really all that's required for a BC violation, but team control can never exist until player control has existed.
Player control is the same thing that's required for a TO (except throwins, free throws and dead balls), so the principal is the same.  Exactly the same.  
Whether you'd grant a TO if a coach was requesting it while A1 briefly controlled it is, really, a topic for another thread.  My point is, the rule is the same for both, so the theory works.  Every time.
