Time Out ?

And FYI, it is not related to the "end of the forth quarter or an OT"....but after time has expired in such a situation but the quarter has not yet ended due to pending FTs.

Until the clock has run to begin the extra period. It is better cleared in the case book plays, but I'm not going to type them in this late.

The rule states "after the expiration of playing time in the fourth quarter or any extra period". Unless I am thinking incorrectly, but wouldn't the only time that the fourth quarter is ended without being over and the overtime period not yet begun is if we are shooting free throws? And of course if we are not yet off the playing court after the end of the fourth in a decided game, but then I'm not granting any time-outs to either team.
