I agree the time-out should be greatly reduced. Work out plays in practice, not on my time.

No it's not.
NBA teams get 6 full length timeouts (which vary in length depending on TV from 60 to 100 seconds) plus one 20 second in each half. NCAA varies depending on the broadcast setup, but if you're watching it on TV the teams are only getting 4 30 second timeouts and one 60 second timeout per game. There are additional mandated commercial timeouts, but it's pretty safe to say those aren't going anywhere.
