Yes, the coach knew he was out of time outs and he told his team at the last dead ball (I heard him). The player was his son and while "ticked off" might imply yelling at the player, he did not. Both coach/dad and son/player and his teammates actually handled it rather well.
I'm glad you brought up coach's reaction, so I could clear that up, but I was more interested in the collective philosophy of granting or not granting, and why or why not. I think it is relevant for our discussions how the situation was handled by the participants, so I am happy to report it was handled well, at least I thought so.
