Why does that make life easier? It is much easier to get a player to call timeout. At least in my opinion.

If I understand it right....

The coach requests a timeout to the scorers table. The official is not even involved. The timeout can only be taken when the ball otherwise becomes dead. (A timeout request can not get granted during a live ball). When an official blows the whistle for a foul or violation, the scorer will indicate to the official that a timeout has been requested.

Since no timeout can be taken during a live ball, there is not need for the coach to communicate it to either his players or the officials.

That seems very easy to me.
