I was R2 on Friday and had a situation that I'd like feedback on. Coach A takes her first time-out of the set. At the end of the time-out, Coach B holds up 2 fingers and -- I thought -- asked me if he still has both of his time-outs. I told him "yes".

After a second or two, I realized that he was actually asking me if Coach A had used both of her time-outs for the set.

At this point, I've put myself in a no-win situation. I can either (a) allow him to continue to believe that Coach A has no time-outs left -- which will surely cause a problem when she inevitably takes her second time-out later in the set; or (b) correct the misunderstanding -- which requires me to give him information that he's not really supposed to get from me.

So help me out, please:

1) Should I have answered Coach B's question in the first place? If a coach asks about his/her remaining TO's, is that information that the R2 should provide?

2) Once I've given misleading information, what do I do about it: (a) or (b) above.

3) I chose (b).
