NCAA Timeout Question

[MOofficial]

I think this should answer the question:

Section 12. Timeouts Not Granted
Art. 1. No timeouts shall be granted:
a. To the opponents of the throw-in team after the throw-in starts.
b. During an interrupted dribble.
c. To a player or coach when an airborne player’s momentum is
carrying him/her out of bounds or into the backcourt.

I am pretty sure in NCAA M/W they have to have both feet on the ground and established in bounds to call a to. In HighSchool all your looking for is control of the basketball. Also I think in the NBA they take that a step forward and say that it doenst matter how many fee you haev in bounds that if a players momentum is going out of bounds then it can not be granted. If this is not the correct ruling someone let me know.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know the NCAA rulebook was available online until about a minute ago. I looked it up found that info. I appreciate your replies. I looked up the definition of control and it doesn't seem to specify/define control as it relates to one or both feet on the floor.

You quoted the rule above, so where does it say both feet have to be on the ground, inbounds?

The rule deals specifically with an airborne player. If a foot is down, she is not airborne.
Furthermore, even if she is airborne, a TO should still be granted if the momentum is not carrying her OOB.
