Others have different ways of handling. I was looking for opinions.
There are a few schools where I work at that have time-outs remaining on the main scoreboard--a huge asset. I always make it a point to tell the visiting coach about that before the game. If the board doesn't have it I usually will wait until half way or so thru the 4th quarter and check with the table and then inform coaches as to how many they have left. Or if it seems they're running out before then I'll let them know. If they still call one with none left then their deaf or dumb
