Yes you can call a time out
The ball becomes live when the ball is in possesion of the thrower of the other team for a throw in. In camp we covered that the rule states (5-8-3b)that a timeout can occur by either team when the ball is dead. When does the ball become live??? Rule 6-1-b says when it at the disposal of the thrower.
So, during that brief time between the made basket and the ball being OUT OF BOUNDS in the possesion of the thrower, a timeout can be granted. While the ball is in bounds bounds even if the throwing team has the ball in a players hands, the ball is still dead. There is no team possesion. All timeout and foul situations comply with this.
