Good night Mark. But it's just your opinion against mine,
and I say that no points can be scored during a dead ball.
Period.

Well, I think quite a few here have sided with Mark on this one (including myself).
And, the conflict isn't between your opinions, it is which rule takes precedence (NF):
1. 30 seconds to replace, clearly meant to be a TO period.
2. Ball put at player's disposal, that is how a ball becomes live, and play resumes.
I side with 2.

I agree it's about precedence, and I agree I'm the only
one who sides with your number 1, which keeps me posting
on the topic! If someone would just say I'm right I would
stop!
Let's take this from a huge screwup to a
ridiculous extreme. B1 fouls A1 on a shot, but B calls TO
before A1 can take his first FT. At the first horn
A1 goes to the line and makes a FT, B is still in their
huddle. Under your theory the ball has been made live and
the FT counts, in fact if the FT misses A1 shoots 2 again,
because none of team B occupied the lowests lane position.
See where I'm going? This is all kinda silly & fun but
it does point out that there are huge holes in the rules,
there's nothing more basic than 2-10 and live ball/dead
ball, is there?
