time out rule clarification

Any team can call timeout when the ball is dead.

The ball is dead from the moment it passes through the net until the throwin begins. The throwin begins when the throw has the ball in his hands and is in a position to make a legal throw (or has had enough time to do so but is deliberately delaying). This coincides with the start of the 5 second count.

Said another way, the team may call the timeout anytime between the shot and the start of the 5 second count.

The rule says at the disposal 6-1-2.

There is nothing in the rules about being in position to make a throw-in. CB 6.1.2.B and comment.

Once the throwing team has the ball it is too late.
