Maybe this is an regional thing,
but by rule it is not our job to have definite knowledge.

You are right JR, I said there is no such rule and there still is not such rule requiring for us as officials to inform a coach how many timeouts they have, when they run out. That is a scorers' responsibility and if they never say a thing to us, it goes by the waistside.

What-the-hell is a "waistside?"
So, if we have a fight during a came, have to eject a couple of players, maybe a coach or two, we can't take a timeout to allow things to calm down and everyone to compose themselves?
BTW, you're taking things way out of context. In the play described, there was no momentum that was taken away from any players. In fact, the one that I called probably prevent my partner from popping a coach with a T. And I'm not discussing whether or not the official should be officiating or not. That's a separate issues.
BTW, if the scorer tells you that Team A has no more time-outs, you are
required by rule to inform the coach. No matter what silly little term you use, like courtesy, it is a requirement.
