It's when you recgonize the TO?

I had this play earlier in the year: Classic.

A kid runs to a loose ball going OOB by his team. Jump from inbounds, catches the ball, COACH calls a TO. I look to see who called TO (not the assistant). Kid lands OOB. I whistle the TO and grant it. Other coach goes bonkers. I think from a rule intent POV, it was the right call.

BTW, in the travel-TO situation, it's a TO. Let's be realistic here. You can call a timeoutt AS SOON AS as you gain team control, but you can't violate until some time passes - the time to roll along the floor or the time to put your pivot foot back down onto the floor.
