Don't worry about removing the powers of the coaches to call timeouts. One simple way to put an end to this and not mentioned. $$$$$$$ Fine the teams/coaches who do call a timeout that is extremely obvious in those situations.

awesome. I like it.

people in the "it doesn't matter" camp: On the first "kick", the kicker either makes it and he's the hero or he misses and he's the villain. It's an emotional moment. When he's forced to kick again, that emotion will probably have a negative effect on his performance.

The data cited against this doesn't make much sense, since the old way of icing the kicker doesn't include him actually kicking the ball and not realizing it doesn't count until well after the results are apparant.
