Or should we have them request again?
Personally, knowing in advance on those type of situations makes managing the game easier. It’s nothing like granting a time out when coach really called the play “five out” or you didn’t hear coach requesting at all because of the crowd noise.

Have them request again and, more importantly, tell them that they're going to have to request it when they actually want it.
The only thing that should be "easier" is that you now know the coach wants the TO, but you shouldn't cop out by granting it early.
