I'm offended. I thought this was the kinder, gentler forum? Is the Jurassic period resurfacing?

Even though it is not sufficient, I wouldn't say it is not relevant. Team control is implied by player control. Not relevant would be like saying that the ability to be granted a timeout depends on the number of team fouls.

I won't quibble with the idea that team fouls are "more irrelevant."

Not only is it not sufficient, it's not even required (at disposal). Team control never matters. The fact that it's always present during player control means nothing with regard to timeouts.

Just a whacky analogy: A player who is holding the ball most likely has a pivot foot. But, like team control, there are cases where a time out may be granted without an established pivot foot. However, unlike team control, having a pivot foot is sufficient for a legal time out request (assuming the request comes from the holder, a player teammate or his/her head coach). So...as relevancy goes, having a pivot foot, which we would agree is completely irrelevant to time out requests, may be less irrelevant than having team control.

I am glad we are so "anal" for words used in an example. Perhaps we should apply this "anality (does such a word exist?) to the rules
shame on me; especially when i am so pushy about the rules I did say my example was incorrectly thought out... |

But, team control by the other team (among other things) does preclude being granted a timeout. And that is what I read the original post to be talking about...verifying that one team has control vs the other team having control. And, the fact that the other team does have team control directly means that a team can't have a timeout.
