So Bilas, the so called expert, is reciting the rule as it also scrolls by on TV. Where rule says for a timeout to be granted, a player must be in control, Bilas substitutes team control, which of course may not necessarily be true.

Lee:

If there is team control but not player control at player or coach's request for a timeout can not be granted. But a player or coach's request for a timeout can be granted if the ball is dead.
