Like granting a timeout after the fact. FYI: I would never do this, please do not criticize.

Just re-read your post. I've never even had a coach make such a request.

Here's the essence of what I said: I hope I never have to deal with a situation where an official calls a timeout for a coach. I can see a coach saying "hey, grant me a timeout before the 5-second throw-in violation", and then the official calling it for the coach.
