In that case, I'd say play on and let the opposing coach give us a couple lashes with a wet noodle.

You give them the T as soon as you figure it out. That's the rule. Are you saying that you don't, Z?
Correct, because the day that my entire officiating crew and the scoring crew and the coach (who was notified when he took his last time-out) don't notice that an excess time-out was taken until we are playing again is the day that I hang up my whistle. And I'm not having a T in my final game.

Naw, this is one where you get the scorer that screws up and doesn't tell you when a team used it's last one. Then 2 minutes later, she beeps you and says "oh ref, btw blue has had 6 TO's". If you never had something like that happen, then you're the luckiest ref in the world.
