That is a strange rule. So say there's 10 seconds left, possession arrow is in your favor, there's a loose ball and the 2 teams are fighting for it and you call a timeout. You're awarded the ball? That can't be right.
That doesn't make sense. If two players from different teams are fighting for the ball, sure that's a jump ball decided by the possession arrow. Green didn't have possession of the ball while he was falling out of bounds, that would not involve a jump ball with a possession arrow.
No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that in the specific situation where you call a timeout and it's deemed that you don't have possession that's when it goes to the possession arrow

Agree to disagree, if you're an inbounder you need to establish two feet in bounds before you can touch it and possess the ball, the same theory should apply in situations like what happened at the end of that game. I do not see how possession is established when you're midair, out of bounds, and never possessed the ball with your feet inbounds.

Because that's the rule, you can call timeout in the air before you land out of bounds.

Yea that's my point, its a stupid rule which is why the NBA got rid of it
You said agree to disagree, that's what threw me off. I also think it's a stupid rule but that's the rule and I think they got the call right.

I wasn’t watching….,was it not reviewable to see if he had possession before he called TO??
