What rebound are you watching? The FT is good. Any action afterward before the ball is made live is incidental. If he tells you he wants a TO, he can call it as the ball goes through the net. He also can tell all his players to simultaneously call TO when the ball goes through the net, so you can't possibly miss it, even if you are in a tunnel vision mode and seeing only the players under the basket.
Like I said, I understand a little bit how you can justify it better on a made FT. But in the end, coach can easily have players request a TO that you can see and recognize after the FT. He should coach his players to call that TO, call it himself as well, and not count on the ref.
One thing also to consider with respect to deviating, even slightly, from the rules. Others will follow the letter of the law, and the coach who was trained by you will expect the TO to be automatically granted. If he doesn't get the TO because his refs in the next game follow the letter of the rule, he will now be upset when he doesn't get an automatic TO.
It's best to keep to the rules and teach the coaches the right way to do it.
