All of the rules refer to "granting" the time-out at the appropriate time or "recognizing the request" at the appropriate time...none of them say that the coach must request it at a specific time.
So if the ball is rolling around on the floor, the coach can request a timeout while there's neither team or player control and as soon as one of this players gains control, I must then grant his request?

It's no different that what you guys are advocating on the FTs.
