Question: In the above both situation, Team A asked for a time-out. Under the latest rule changes of FIBA 1998-2002, is Team A allowed for a time-out?
Please take note that Charged Time-out opportunity begins "when the ball becomes dead and the game clock is stopped". Of course, no charged time-out is permitted for the scoring team, BUT in the above situations ball is dead and the game clock is stopped because of the substitution.
We would like to thank all co-officials who will give their time to enlighten this situation.

In my opinion a time-out for the scoring team cannot take place, since article 27.2.2 of newest FIBA rules (2000) not only states "when the ball becomes dead and the game clock is stopped," but goes on stating: "and when the official had ended his communication with the scorer's table when reporting a foul or violation."
Since no such thing as a foul or violation has occured a time-out for the scoring team cannot take place. Further more the rules do not state an exception to time-out when a substitution is taking place (even when team A can also substitute).
Although this is a bit strange: I can't imagine team B being disadvantaged by this new time-out opportunity for team A (after a substitution of both teams)...
