Give him the T
Normally, I'd say yes, the coach should know how many timeouts he has used. However, given the circumstances, with a 9th grade team and a parent of an opposing team's player giving the wrong information, I'd say the fair thing to do would be to let it go.

While team B should have their own scorekeeper tracking this, team A should also have better qualified scorekeeping personnel. Giving incorrect information like that could give the appearance of cheating, and we definitely don't want to go there.

I also might make a note of this and pass the word to tournament officials to keep an eye out for a re-occurence.
