And why would that matter if the timeout had already been requested?

It wouldn't. But all I can see from the video is when the visual request was made. I can't hear on the video if the player or coach requested TO while the ball was in his possession.

That is all you need.

OK, but when the visual request was made, A1 didn't have the ball...

True, but you can read his lips before that and see that he looked right at the official and requested the TO before he took his hands off the ball to visually request it. I think he briefly had control and the timeout request was made at that moment and it was correctly granted.

And assuming that's exactly what he did, then we're golden! I'm just pointing out what we know to be true by looking at the video.

Agree, even in real time, the first time I watched the video.

You're right, the visual request by A1 was made after he lost PC. However, we don't know if the HC was calling for one at the same time.

Correct, and if he was requesting TO when A1 had the ball, then all is well (Thank you Kevin Bacon).
