You have a point. In most cases, the ball is not at the disposal of the throwing team until they have the ball OOB for the throwin. However, if the official feels they've had sufficient time to do so but are, for what ever reason, stalling, it should be considered to be at their disposal and the 5 second count started. At that instant, the defense may no longer call timeout and this correctable error would be no longer correctable. [/B]

Camron,one question?
A1 scores. B1 grabs the ball but hasn't taken it out of bounds. A1 calls TO after B1 has grabbed the ball,but before he takes it OOB. Would you grant the TO? [/B][/QUOTE]
YES.
If B is not stalling, I start the count when they have the ball, are OOB, and are facing inbounds. That is when I consider them to have it at their disposal. They are in a position from which they can make a legal throwin. If they are not in a location/stance that would reasonably allow them to throw the ball in legally, it is not at their disposal.
