I like both rule changes tbh. Having less timeouts will decrease the amount of stoppage time especially when the game is close with less than 5 minutes to go. In addition, it will increase the amount of trust coaches will need to have in their players to lead and take charge! Maybe now, people will truly appreciate the leadership of certain players (like Lebron) who have high enough IQs to establish a quality last second play.
Agreed it should always be about the players in my opinion!!!!
