Allowing a time out

Is the ball at the disposal of Team B immediately after the made basket, therefore Team A cannot call a time out?

The ball is dead IMMEDIATELY after a made basket, so almost all officials agree, that if either team calls a time-out at the instant the goal is made, grant the request.

A good rule of thumb is: If the ball is still inbounds, and you have not started a 5 second count, grant the request by either team.
