NFHS - A player goes airborn, grabs the ball, and calls a time out before landing out of bounds - legal?

I see nothing that prohibits it in the books.

Case play 5.8.3 Sit D

A1 or A2 requests a time-out: (a) while airborne A1 is holding the ball; (b) while A1's throw-in is in flight toward A2; or (c) when the ball is on the floor at A1's disposal for a throw-in.

RULING: The request is granted in (a) and (c), but denied in (b), as there is no player control while the ball is loose between players.


As long as player control exists ...
