Sounds to me that the scorer did notify someone that the coach used his last time-out. Otherwise, why would he be mad?  |
The idea...and the rule...is to tell them before they call an extra one, not after.
So when team A uses their 5th TO, the scorer should be telling the reporting official that they are out and that official should then carry that info to the huddle of team A.
Sure a team should no their TO situation but that does not excuse the scorer or officials from doing what is required of them in their duties.
