A1 makes basket. Team A signals for a timeout. If I'm reading my rulebook correctly, the TO can be granted UNTIL the ball is "at the disposal" of the player taking the ball out of bounds.

A ball is at the disposal of a player when it is:

a. handed to a thrower and d)available to a player after a goal.


So, can a TO only be granted before the thrower picks up the ball after the basket? What if he immediately catches it after it comes through the basket - if he's not OOB yet, can a TO be granted? Can a TO ever be granted after he has the ball in his hands and is OOB?
