If the other coach objects, say:
"Coach, the Official Scorer told him he had one, I'd do the same thing for you."
Great idea.

As well, it is not our job to keep coaches informed of their TO situation, until they've used up their last one. I agree with previous poster, that's what assistants are for. It is not standoffish or unapproachable to decline in this situation, and it would help eliminate situations like the one that started this thread.
