From what I see, if someone else wants to take the ball out after the opposing team scores, just get over the endline.
+1 True, a part of the definition of "at disposal" is that the official has begun his count. But, many throw-ins are conducted so quickly that the count never starts at all. With this in mind, if a player picks the ball up and tosses it to another player, in any context, in doing so that player had the ball at his disposal.
