Depends upon the scenario, if B is standing under the basket, catches the ball as it goes through the net, and at the same time takes one quick step behind the endline, and bounces on his foot back across the endline, there really was not a chance for the time out to be called. I would hope that as a crew we are watching for A to call a time out and give them one if they are signaling as the ball goes through. However, if B takes their time, thereby giving A ample and fair opportunity to call (request) a time out and A does not take advantage of that, then I would not grant it.
Any time outs before this, near the end of the game should have had this scenario discussed by the officials as they get together to talk.
