So its OK to call a timeout anytime except when a kicker is about to kick?
A QB can call a TO with 1 second left on the play clock if he sees something he doesnt like...so can the coach for that matter. Or the defense.
What if the team trying to stop the FG sees an alignment that may lead to a fake..should they not be allowed to call a TO to change personel? What if they only have 10 guys on the field? A TO is a TO whenever its called. Again all the K had to do was kick the ball again...thats a"him" problem not a rule problem.
