Again, this is an issue that doesn't arise in FIBA rules.
Article 18.3.1 states that:
"Only a coach or assistant coach has the right to request a charged time-out. He shall establish visual contact with the scorekeeper or he shall go to the scorers table and ask clearly for a time-out, making the proper conventional sign with his hands."
So if a coach requests a time-out and they have no time outs left, the scorebench should inform them of this. Unlike NCAA/NFHS a coach can't "buy" a time-out with a technical foul.
