Given the situation, if it ever happens again (God willing it won't), I think I will heed the suggestion of Blackhawk... I like it.
Here is what we did (right, wrong or indifferent)...No "T" was assessed. Since the Home book (official book)informed him through me that he had one time out left, we granted a 30 second TO. I explained this to the home coach and he took it as best as he could, in other words he understood the situation we were in and felt our hands were tied. He heard me tell the coach he had 1 left per the book shortly after I told him of his 3.(Side Note- The home coach has a bit of a reputation for being a "Howler"). He had a few words with his book keeper and we went on to finish what was probably the most competitive game I've had all season(see original post) Given all of this, what we did, resolved the situation and both coaches were happy/lived with it. Maybe this wasn't the right thing to do and hence my reason for posting... to gather other insights.
PS. Hawks Coach... I did not take your comments personnally, like I said your input from the 'other' perspective brings much value to this board. However, I never had the opportunity to advise him he had used his last timeout because I was told he had one left... Just a bad sitch all the way around!
Yours in Hoops,
