the new rule yes. the old rule was fine when the defense had to call it. It's pure chickensh*t to let the coach wait until 2 seconds before the ball is snapped. The is no debate on this.

Do you think calling timeouts "2 seconds before the ball is snapped" should be disallowed?

How would that be enforced?

If a center hears a ref blow the whistle, he just snaps the ball and claims "illegal timeout" or whatever.

I saw the title of this thread and thought "HAH like we could ever ban that". However, I am kinda coming over to the side that wants there to be no defensive TO's called when the players are set. I have no idea why a coach is allowed to call a timeout either.

Why? Unless you take away the entire ability for coaches to call timeouts, I don't see why this should be any different.

Say what you want, but I think that its a fine way to make sure the kicker is keeping his head in the game. If he can get rattled by something that simple, then its fine gamesmanship. If it doesn't work, you're out 30 seconds and you still lose/go to OT or whatever.

I don't think it's unethical, cheap or douchey. However, it should still be banned.
