As APG subtly pointed out, coaches will not be able to call live ball timeouts. The ball is dead after a made basket or free throw, so a coach can still call timeout here (and we better not miss it!).

But in general, I love the rule change. I shouldn't get accused of ignorance in a loud gym when I'm trying to focus on a play 60 feet from a coach who I couldn't hear even if he had a bull horn. Want a live ball timeout? Instill in your players your philosophy for when the appropriate time to call one is. Or get one of your player's attention to bring the request to my attention. Because I'm busy, d@mn it!
