Time out!

[coachgrd]

In a game yesterday, I requested a time-out late in the game, immediately after we scored. Obviously I cannot be granted a TO when the opponent is in possession of the ball. However, can I be granted one if the opponent has yet to inbound the ball (after we score) but has it in thier hands attempting to throw it in?

As it happened yesterday, the official granted me the TO but our opponent erupted when the request was granted, thinking my request was no done in time.

Thanks!
