There really is not enough information in the description of the play to give a ruling.
As an official, I will listening for a coach to request a time-out as soon as the top of the ball clears the bottom of the basket. If the coach makes the request at any time after the top of the ball has cleared the bottom of the net and before the ball is at the disposable of Team A for a throw-in, then I will grant Team B's request for a time-out. Before I grant Team B's request for a time-out I have to confirm that it was Coach B that made the request. If it was Coach B making the request then I grant the request even if the ball is now at the disposable of Team A for a throw-in. The key is: When the request is made, not when the official sounds his whistle to grant the request.

Mark,what more information do you need?B has gotten possession of the ball after an A basket and is just crossing the endline with it.A(player or coach)requests a TO.Do you grant it or not?The sitch is specific and so is the question.

Sorry about that. I guess I am going senile. As Emily Latessa would say: "Nevermind."
