That cat is never going back in the bag...coaches are too paranoid, and I wouldn't blame them. There's too much on the line at the NCAA and NBA level to not think a coach would abuse your suggested rule re-change at an opportune time. Heck, just look at some of the issues and problems of teams being accused of abusing an injury timeout at "opportune" times in NCAA football and even the NFL now.
