Stop the calling of timeout while in the air and then landing out of bounds. Just like a football player must touch a foot in bounds when catching a pass. If youcan not keep yourself from falling out of bounds you are not in control of your body or the ball. Just eliminate the option of calling time out in those situations. You go out of bounds the other team gets the ball. Simple as that.

I just think it rewards a player for nothing. Where you are when you are in the air doesn't matter if you land out of bounds. Why allow someonesailing out of bounds to change that fact by calling timeout?:question

Suppose a receiver is attempting to catch a ball on fourth down. But realizing while in the air that he is going to land out of bounds, he signals time out and his team gets to keep theball andplay thedown over. Its the same thing to me.

show me a reciever that can make that split second decision between signalling time out and then catching a 60 MPH (conservative estimate) football pass while falling out of bounds and Ill consider that supposition...apples and oranges.

The basic principle is the same. Whether the physics are the same is irrelevant. IMO a basketballplayer shouldhave to be able to control where he lands and not save possession by calling time out when in the air. If he lands out of bounds with the ball, he is out of bounds, and shouldlose possesion. Just my opinion, and I'm "stickin to it":lol:. Suppose a receiver could see that the only place he could catch the ball was going to be out of bounds and so he calls time out while the ball is in the airand thus gets to run fourth down over. That is a better example:idea:.
