Not sure why a rule should be changed if we hear them fine 99 percent of the time. 2/3 of those situations are on the coach for not being loud enough/signaling a TO along with his verbal request, so I'm not going to feel bad about those situations. The 3rd is a simply byproduct of doing our duties...a la paying attention to what's on the court. Coach will just have to accept that and I'd have no problem telling him/her as much if he/she tries to make a bid deal of it.
Seriously though, the overwhelming amount of timeouts granted via coach's request are easy enough to grant and come at predictable enough times that it isn't an issue...at least from what I've noticed.
