Yup, it's not only appropriate, it's good coaching imo. If you can warn the officials that you want one, then they can anticipate your request. Note that you and/or your players will still have to make the request though. If your kids do, tell 'em to use the "T" signal for the time-out. That's a heckuva lot easier for an official to recognize immediately - as opposed to a verbal request, especially a verbal request in a noisy gym.
