Where in the book does it say we can go to the play-by-play to check anything?

It doesn't. It doesn't say that we can't. We can get all relevant information from the table, and our partners to make the right ruling. Its up to the referee to make the final decision. In the OP if I thought there should still be a time out available & the book disagrees I'm going to check the books and play by play before I make a determination. If the play by play has it and the books doesn't, but agrees with what I had then I'm changing on my authority. However if all of it matches then I'm not changing anything.
