 Actually, no, you don't. If a team requests a timeout in hoops, you grant it. If they're out, you call a T. But even if that wasn't the case, the hoops official still only needs to remember if either team has a timeout left or if they're out.
Totally different situation in a different (and shorter) game where the responsibilities are much different.
