I disagee. If a team wants to trade a timeout for avoidance of a turnover, they should be able to do so. I would feel differently if there were an unlimited number of timeouts, however.
Timeouts are precious, especially in a close game.
If you want to change a timing rule, get rid of the 5 second closely guarded call. Why should a team be penalized (and the other team rewarded) because a player happened to be standing within 6 feet of another player for 5 seconds?
