There are just some things college players can't do which pros can, if only because of practice time.
Having to burn a time out seems like more than enough of a penalty for the offense.

You see, I don't see it as a problem if a team has only 2 seconds to advance it after a timeout...no matter the level. Because more likely than not, the defense forced them to waste those 8 seconds. And they're being rewarded for it. Plus, this is how the FIBA rule is (as far as the count not resetting if for instance, the ball goes OOB).
