Luckily the rule in question in the 72 incident is no longer the rule and the timeout can only be granted before the first or after the last. So there would not be a reason to interrupt the game and cause the confusion. Also there would now be no running clock in the last 2 minutes so the need to inbound a live bal in a late game would not cause problems.
