If it's a timeout situation, every one of the coach's players should have known it. There have been games that devolved into controversy when an assistant requested the TO and it was granted.
Let me ask this, though. What do you do when a coach says "I want a timeout if it's a make" prior to a free-throw? Do you wait to hear it, listen for it, or treat it as having been requested.

I do not like the "prior to action request" that coaches make. I have asked them to still make the request so it will be seen on tape. But I have kind of backed off of that. The problem is sometimes their requests are "after this FT" but they are usually reasonable.
