Yes - the coach can request a timeout before either shot.
He cannot, however, request a second timeout. Nor can the other coach be granted one until the overtime period begins.
5.12.3 A:
"At the end of playing time for the fourth quarter or any overtime period, successive timeouts shall not be granted. This means a [second] time-out cannot be granted either team until the clock has run in the extra period."
