That's not quite true. You can have a time out between the end of the fourth quarter and the start of the OT (ignoring, for the moment, that the OT is an extension of the fourth quarter). You just can't have successive time outs during this time, and you can't use the extra TO that's granted for the OT.
So, either A or B can call, and be granted, a TO. The other team cannot be granted a TO, but htere is no penalty for requesting one. If the team that is granted a TO has (at least) one left at the end of regulation, they are charged wioth a TO. If the team doesn not have any left at the end of regulation, they are granted the TO, but charged with a (team) technical. The extra period will begin by shooting the free throws for the T, and then with a throw-in for the T. Set the arrow when the ball is at the disposal of the thrower.
