At the varsity level each team has a scorekeeper and that's their job.
I've had officials tell me that if they know a coach is out of TO's they won't call the TO.....I'll call it in a heartbeat, especially if it's obvious enough.

According to the NFHS rules book you are suppose to inform a coach when the book notifies you they have used their last timeout.
This is the ONLY time a tell a coach how many they have left. If they think they still have one they can take it up with the official book.
I agree with you about not reminding a coach how many timeouts they have left but I do, and we are suppose to, inform them when the official scorer notifies us that a team is out of timeouts. This could have helped avoid the situation in the OP.
