A coach would rather use multiple time-outs here than save them for use in a potential next period where they might be crucial? Seems unlikely.

Actually, if you think about it, this is the most
CRUCIAL time!!! Let's say the score is Team A 62 and Team B 61. B1 has just been fouled on a three point attempt. You are the Team A head coach. If B1 MISSES all three shots, you win the game. If he makes two of three, you LOSE the game. The ONLY time you will need these time-outs is in the case B1 makes ONE and ONLY ONE FT. If you had four of your remaining five time-outs left, why not use them here? After all, you get one more full TO in the OT period.
The rule prohibits this action, of course.
