Here's my two cents...
I hate the NF rule in this situation of calling a time out. It doesnt not make sense. All other timeouts either happen during a whistled dead ball or while in player possession.
I dont think that the team who kust scored should be able to stop the clock. I would like to see the clock stop after a made basket (NCAA/NBA) and then see a rule consistently written so that time outs must be called when a team is in player possession. BTW this would stop the defense trying to call time outs in a couple of other wierd situations too, like to coaches who like to rattle the shooter and have the players call time out during a FT while ball is being bounced.

We know everybody wants the clock stopped. so let's just stop it like the NCAA/NBA and get on with the game. just my two cents
