It's not clear in the book (thus the many discussions we've had on similar plays), but I think all that need be done is make the request during that interval (and you becoming aware that it was made then -- even if that "awareness" happens just after the ball is caught)

To me, the timeout occurs when I hear the a valid request...even if it takes me a moment to sound the whistle.
