Actually I don't think a team can call more than one of their timeouts on the same snap.
And unless the coaches/players are prescient, they may in reality be giving the kicker a second chance to kick twice.
And while the players themselves may have always been able call a time out right before the kick, they were on the field and it was obvious to everyone what was going on. With the coaches on the sidelines doing it there is much more of a surpise, WTF is going on, what happened factor.
