All right I'm having a brain cramp. A1 is falling out of bounds..can he/she call time out.

A1 can request a time out. You can grant it if Team A has possession, and the ball is not in the air being passed from one teammate to another. If A1 doesn't have possession, I'd look to the coach for confirmation before granting. Why in the world call a timeout because a non-possession player is falling out of bounds? If the timing becomse an issue, you can always say he called it in time, but you just hadn't blown the whistle yet.
