Good point. It just seemed like a quick, simple fix to a solution in search of a problem. I was just trying to be proactive. I didn't realize there would be any unintended consequences.
And we do have officials, some who have lurked on this Forum, who believe that they can ignore a request for a timeout from a coach if the official knows it would be an excess timeout leading to a technical foul.
