all wasted because the offense simply calls a timeout!

Let's not go back to the 80% rule!
There are times where I would rather have a team burn a timeout than gain posession. For example, first quarter, my team just scored, and the game is still close. We pressure the inbounder to a count of four, and he then calls a timeout.
Yes, he'll get the ball back, but that's one less timeout he can use to stop the clock at the end of the game - meaning he'll have to foul my team in order to stop the clock.
This is one of those things that can go either way, and should just be left alone.
