I do find out how many are left if for no other reason than to make sure the two books are in agreement. I'd also like to know if I can not worry about timeouts and focus on the action.
If I do find out, I only tell the team if they're out. I don't say anything if they have more. Telling them they have 1 or 2 doesn't prevent anything and can be the cause of an extra timeout request. Imagine telling the coach he has 1 and he uses it only to find out they were actually out (the scorekeeper misunderstood what you were asking about).
