Based on that assumption and setting aside JRut's "word to the wise" interpretation for a moment, I'm suggesting that there is nothing in the rule book which indicates that it is illegal or inappropriate for a coach to request a timeout which is granted at a later time.
You said it is incorrect procedure. While I agree with JRut's "word to the wise" interpretation, from a strict constructionist point of view, I can see nothing incorrect about this procedure.

All right, let me throw out an obviously far-out example. A coach comes up to you before the game and tells you he wants a TO the first time the other team goes on an 8-0 run.
What do you tell him?
