What's wrong with requesting a timeout to avoid a violation? I would agree that it would need to be changed if each team received an unlimited number of timeouts, but the amount of timeouts each team receives is finite. If they want to trade one for avoiding a violation, they should be able to do so. It's no different than requesting a timeout as you are falling OOB with the ball. It's a good rule.
