After a made basket by team A, team B secures the ball and steps OOB for the throw-in. At what point do most of you consider as the time that team A can no longer call a TO.
A. Immediately after team B secures the ball?
B. After the throw-in person has turned to face the floor to actually throw the ball in? Or
C. After the throw-in is completed and a team B player has secured the ball?
I recognize the issue with team control vs. player control and agree with the other answers. But on a throw-in, there is neither team or player control, so it seems to me that either team can call a TO up until a player IB secures the ball. Feedback?

B. The timeout can be granted until the ball is at the disposal of the the throwing team. It is at the disposal when they are in (or could be in ) a position to make the throwin AND you have started the throwin count. If you're not counting, you've already decided they don't have it at their disposal.
