Time out, no possession

Sure -- grant the TO after you whistle the violation for a kicked ball.

Absolutely correct. That is a kicked ball and grant the timeout

Nothing in the OP says there was a kicked ball. If there was one was it intentional

Sorry, gents. As you know, things happen quickly in our game. The ball was never held between the legs or purposely touched by the legs of A1.

Then you should not have granted the time-out.

Then it wasn't "collected" as you indicated in your first post.

Just so I can get this straight in my brain...if the ball ends up between someone's legs, and he/she brings his/her knees together to "collect" the ball, then we've got a violation for kicked ball?

The general understanding is that any intentional contact with the ball, using one's legs, is considered a "kick." Such contact is often seen as a "non-basketball action."
Recently, a player, sitting on the floor, put his leg on top of the ball, to control it, when he saw that an opponent was about to grab the ball. I called the violation, to the great disapproval of many of the fans, who voiced their opinion that, "That wasn't a kick!" . . . Smile, throw-in for the other team. Game continues.
