My take: I don't grant time until I see the play is over. I will acknowledge the request with "As soon as the ball's in the circle" or "As soon as the runners reach base", then immediately grant time.
If I had, though, or my partner did, everything stops as far as I am concerned. If the BR reached first safely, and has not been called out yet for LBR when TIME is called, she's still not out.
