IMO, there are too many people saying the coach is responsible for tracking his timeouts. By rule, this is the table's job. The coach's count has no standing.
Obviously, there is no rule supporting a technical foul for an incompetant table. There is an assumption in the rulebook that the table is competant. In this case the assumption is erroneous.
If the table is competant, then they are cheating. If they are incompetant, then why would you believe that their new count is more accurate than when they said the coach had one more timeout left? You no longer have any reliable knowlege whether the coach has any timeouts or not.

Jim, you're making a huge mistake here.
From the original post:
"
Team A coach was observed by me asking the
official scorekeeper if he had a time out remaining. I witnessed the scorekeeper nodding yes. Coach A calls time out and it is granted.
Team B designated score keeper argues they do not have one."
Team A is the home team. The coach's scorer told him he had 1 timeout remaining.
What's your call now, big boy?
