Discussed ad nauseum on this site.
It depends on how you (or your area) interpret "The score shall notify a team through the closest official when a team has used its last time out." (or whatever the specific wording is.
Some say that means an official is supposed to do it. I'm in this camp.
Others say something like, "It's in the scorer's duties, not the official's duties, so I don't do it." (I admit that since I'm not in this camp that I might not be descrbing this position accurately.)
And, others notify a team on 1 time out left and / or zero. I don't -- only zero.
