You're right. There are much better reasons to take away the coaches' ability to call a TO. Like the fact that you have to divert your attention from the game to verify that it's the HC making the request. Like the fact that they get insanely pissed off when you don't hear them asking for one and act as if you've denied them some inalienable right. The fact that sometimes a coach will ask for one, just to stop the clock, then deny he asked for it? That's just one reason out of many.
