If they say it immediately prior to a FT, I would have less problem with it than if they said it prior to an inbounds play and a made basket in the flow of play. But either way, by rule, you can only grant a TO when it is appropriately requested. Nothing in the rule says you can "advance request" a TO in anticipation of the situation arising where you will actually be allowed to have the TO.
The rule is request a TO, and if you are authorized to have a TO granted at the time of the request, your request should be granted.
