reason #3 is a perfect reason for removing this rule from the code.
Once the down is over, the new team-A should be ready to snap or free kick
without delay. If the other teams coach needs to know why or what's going on then he does not read the rule book, then let him burn a timeout assuming he has one. The more time wasted gives the free kicker time to prepare.
There should be no delay in setting up for this. put the ball down and blow the RFP.
