I can't stand this call, but here it goes:

Any player grabs the ball as it is going out of bounds. The player has control of the ball but obviously is not touching the floor. The player calls timeout and then lands out of bounds. I almost always see the official grant the timeout. Why do we do this?

Why do we do this? Because Case 5.8.3D says to do it.
