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?

It's the official's judgment. If the player is inbounds, but "stalling", then the ball might be judged to be at the disposal. If the player is OOB but can't reasonably be ready to make a throw-in (e.g., the ball rolled away a little bit), then the ball might be judged to be not at the disposal.
