Ask coach if he wants a time-out on a made basket?

I have seen it already discussed on this board where the coach tries to request the TO before the made basket (e.g., "on a make, I want the TO ref"). Even when it comes from the coach, you cannot give a TO based on advance notification - it must be requested at the time. It is fine to put you on notice so you know to look for it, in case you did not already. But it cannot be granted unless it is specifically requested at the time the coach wants it.

Where is that written, coach? I have to admit, I was only asked to do that once this year, and the free throw was not made, so the TO was not granted. I was wondering about doing it, but have to ask why I "cannot" give him the TO in that situation.
