3) If the F/T is made, the ball becomes live when inbounded successfully by the opponents.

How many times do you have to be corrected on one of the most basic basketball rules? You don't have a clue as to when a ball becomes live or dead by rule.
1) The ball becomes live on a FT when the FT shooter has it. You can't score with a dead ball. That's another rules basic.
2) The ball is
dead as soon as the shooter makes a "bucket", not vice-versa.
3) In any throw-in, the ball becomes live when it is at the disposal of the thrower.
In
all three cases, the ball being live has got absolutely
NOTHING to do with when the rules tell us to start the clock.
