MN doesn't do this, and I don't think there's any need to do this, but it would remove concerns about the "6th or 7th timeout" while having less of an interruption on the flow of the game.
Interesting. I like that it would only add two more minutes to the game, instead of four... like teams both getting two extra TOs would lead to (assuming they were full TOs).

At first, I liked adding two more time outs, but they would likely be saved until the end of the game. Hell, the time outs thing may not be an issue, anyway. Just curious.
