No, no, no....it is under 2 minutes to go when the coaches can call a TO...

Coaches were already calling the TO's before and just relaying it to the players to make the actual signal. So, no, it won't slow down play one iota.
Three point line might be interesting. I'm sure it will affect some and who that will be, will be big for some teams.

We disagree.
There were a number of games where players ignored or forgot to look at the bench and simply played along last season. It happened at Kentucky twice (SEC Tourney v. UT was the worst one), at Duke once (v. Syracuse), at UNC a couple of times. IIRC, IU suffered particularly in late games wherein they didn't call time outs. (It may have been another team that struggled mightily in conference play.)
That will stop.
So the effect one the average game will be to lengthen it by approximately 2 seconds. That's after spreading the 8 extra timeouts that will be called over every game all season long.
UConn is returning to the Big East starting in 20-21. HUGE!!!
