Time out or no?

I'm going to use this thread to take a spin on the TO issue.
After a made basket by team A, team B secures the ball and steps OOB for the throw-in. At what point do most of you consider as the time that team A can no longer call a TO.
A. Immediately after team B secures the ball?
B. After the throw-in person has turned to face the floor to actually throw the ball in? Or
C. After the throw-in is completed and a team B player has secured the ball?
I recognize the issue with team control vs. player control and agree with the other answers. But on a throw-in, there is neither team or player control, so it seems to me that either team can call a TO up until a player IB secures the ball. Feedback?

SECTION 8 - TIME OUT, STOPPING PLAY

Time-out occurs and the clock, if running, shall be stopped whan an official:

Art. 3...Grants a player's/head coach's oral or visual request for a time-out, such request being granted only when

a) The ball is in control or at the disposal of a player of his/her team.

If I started counting, no TO!
