At the collegiate level, the penalty for excessive timeouts would be an administrative technical resulting in one free throw, but you wouldn't get the timeout. So in essance, in a tie ball game, it could make the difference.
In a close game with little time left, you might get the TO anyways. (a) The clock gets stopped. (b) You have a few seconds to talk to your team while the officials report the foul, the other team selects a shooter, and the shooter takes his(her) shot(s).
