If the throwing team does what, by rule, they are supposed to do, secure the ball and move to the endline, you WILL allow the other team to call a time out.
If they don't do what they are, by rule, supposed to do, you WILL NOT allow a time out for the other team.
Do you realize just how unfair and idiotic that sounds.
Do what you are supposed to do and get penalized.
Don't do what you are supposed to do and the OTHER team gets penalized.

When we start the count, we don't know that A wants a TO. All we know is that B is delaying. So, starting the count penalizes B -- it minimizes the delay.

It still penalizes A when there is NOT a delay, now doesn't it? The rule says to wait a moment or two before you begin a count to see if B is delaying or is just confused, so there should be a GREATER opportunity for A to call a timeout in this situation, not less as MTD suggests.
It still comes down to this, there is no rule that says disposal is ball OOB after a made basket.
MTD is flat out wrong about this, and so is anyone who agrees with him.
