Successive time outs

Could this scenario even happen given that each team gets and extra timeout for each overtime -- is it possible for a team to be out of timeouts at the start of OT? I guess it depends on the wording as to when that extra timeout becomes available and I don't have my book with me.

Shall not be granted until the ball becomes live ... so yes a team could be out of timeouts until ball becomes live
