I may be taking you to literally here but 5-8-3 says nothing about not granting a TO if requested. It's just going to cost him more. As a courtesy,I do try to make sure that the coaches know their standing with TO's during the game.

its not neccessarily a bad idea to do so, but what if you tell him he only has 1 left (even though the table told you that) and he has none??? guess whos gonna take the rap for that one... US. well,im an avid fan in not telling a coach how many timeouts he has because its not our job. Its his job to keep track.
