As BillyMac has posted, an official is required to notify the coach when they have no time-outs remaining. It seems that the officials failed to fulfill a specified duty in this game.
That said, the extra time-out that the team requested is still excessive and must still be penalized with a team technical foul. Just know that this one is the officials' fault.
Unfortunately, mistakes happen. Life's not fair sometimes, the game of basketball isn't fair sometimes either. It is a good life lesson.
