Now what do you consider is having control of the ball?

A couple of clarifications as far as what is rule and what is judgement.
By rule, player control is holding or dribbling a live ball in bounds.
By rule, a player in the air is in bounds if the last place he/she touched the court was in bounds.
So, as has been said already, if the player was holding the ball, the timeout should be granted. The only judgement here is whether the player was holding the ball when he/she requested the timeout.
