Sorry, but you don't see it at higher levels because it's not necessary, the coaches know how to manage the time allotted in a timeout. There's a reason we get someone outside the huddle after the first horn. It works here. And if it doesn't, then the ball goes live.
Now, the process I use to do this normally gives them a few extra seconds to get in place. Frankly, I never see a defensive team do this because the risk is higher.
And if a team has been able to get out on time all game, they can do it with 30 seconds left, too. I don't get that.
But here, we're expected to use RPP if it comes to it, and I rarely have to do it more than once a game.
