There is no rule that says an official must notify the coach of his timeout situation. They tend to keep track of their own - for what other reason do they have all those silly assistant coaches anyway (saw 6 coaches and 5 subs the other day)?
The mechanics manual (not a rule) in paragraph 272 says "Notify the coach when a team has used their allotted time-outs."
It is a courtesy and not a rule. AND there are surely times when you don't want to be over there saying "You only have one timeout left, Coach." However, I still do it, too.
