You can also try to be proactive by telling the ref immediately prior to the situation that you'd like a timeout.

As in "Mr. Ref, if we make the second free throw, I'd like a timeout". Then request the timeout as soon as the ball falls through the rim.
This is good, but make sure to actaully call the timeout. I once had a coach say "I want a timeout when we get the ball." His team gets the ball and 5 seconds later hes screaming timeout, I give him the timeout and then he gets mad because I didn't give him a timeout when his team originally got the ball.
