Personally, at the Varsity level I don't like this as I have not really had a problem in the past with the teams (especially the team captains) calling timeouts when directed to by the coaching staff.
Varsity head-coaches usually plan ahead on situations where an immediate timeout at the end of the next play will be called and their captain knows this.
I really wonder what drove this to approval
Where I know this will be a good thing are for those JV and Modified level games where player/coach communication on this aspect of the game if no where near as good.
