B. Time-outs: Communicate with your partner(s). If a time-out has been taken, indicate the spot of the ball before reporting the time-out. Get together if necessary to discuss a potential problem or action and put the ball down at the spot of the inbound or free throw if you must leave that spot. Work with the table at that point to alleviate any questions or concerns before the ball becomes live.

So then it is fine to leave the ball on the floor at the designated throw in spot, or the free throw line then proceed to either the top of the key (30 second TO), or the block (full TO).
Thanks everyone!
