Is this the same thing as the OP? I don't think so. Official fails to notify coach of no timeouts. An oversight. Oops.

How many coaches enter the game thinking: When I call my last timeout, the officials will tell me. I'd say not very many.

Official tells coach he has one, when in fact he has none. Potentially a major screwup.
I must confess, I just don't understand this -- and, yes, this could be another reason for a divide between coaches and officials.

Why is it that NO ONE wants to take a SIMPLE RESPONSIBILITY of notifying a coach OFFICIALLY about something as important as how many TIMEOUTS he/she has left????
