This form of the timeout tactic has only been employed for the past couple years since the competition committee changed the rule to allow the coaches to call timeouts from the sidelines rather than players on the field.
ESPN said that the competition committee will revisit the issue with a proposal that timeouts by the defensive team cannot be called from the sidelines with less than 5 seconds left on the play clock.
