(2) You put the timeout time on the scoreboard and the time left in the period disappears. Coaches, players, fans, AND officials like having that time up.

I've never heard of a worse idea than putting the timeout countdown on the scoreboard.
Couldn't agree more. I hate having the timeout time kept on the scoreboard. It serves no real purpose, and takes valuable information (time left) off the scoreboard.
