Don't take Nevada's posts too personally. He's been known to refer to people as cowards and tyrants.
His point is valid on this issue in particular, though. The rule is there for a reason, to keep the teams separated during their timeouts. If the coach is allowed to have his TO wherever he pleases outside the prescribed limits, then the officials aren't doing their jobs. You're paid to officiate the entire game, including during timeouts. Do you just let them linger for an extra five seconds after the 2nd horn of a TO? No.
