The NBA version is timeout, then come back to shoot the FT's?
As to icing the shooter, I don't think that a known timeout would effect the shooter as much as a called timeout, as the shooter has time to prepare mentally. The waiting aspect will still apply, but rarely will this occur with just a few seconds on the clock - when it has the most effect on the outcome of the game.
