I just wanna know exactly when between the time the basket is made and when the ball is inbounded can a time out that is requested be granted legitimately.
Problem is each of the three responses differs.

There's no "exact" definition -- it's the official's judgment as to when the ball is at the disposal of the (new) inbounding team. That's the time when the 5-second counts starts and the time the TO can no longer be (properly) requested.
