Rule 5-1-5 iterates that a "goal" includes a made free throw.
Kinda explicit imo.....sureasheck doesn't say anything about recognizing a request made before a goal is made.

It sez when the official is allowed to recognize the request.
It sez nothing at all about when the request should be made.
If it was as clear as you make it out to be the rule would say
"The game clock ...shall be stopped when an official recognizes a request by the head coach or a player for a time out
that is made after a goal until the subsequent throw-in begins".
