Maybe we can bring some sanity back to this little spat.
Scorers make mistakes, but so do we as officials. Should we stop making calls because we make mistakes?
To me this seems logical. Late in a game, I am going to the book to ask what the foul situation is etc. during a time out. If I find out that Team A is out of TO's then I go tell Team A they are out of TO's (Ast or HC) IF IF IF, Team A thinks they have 1 left this is a GREAT time to sort everything out. This way you don't have the messy situation of Team A asking for a TO they think they have, but the table says they don't. Conversely, (Or adidasly, or Nikely) I am not predisposed to tell a coach they have 1, 2 or 3 TO's left. Why? It doesn't matter. They have the ability to ask for and be granted a TO. Also, what I don't want is to have to break down the :30 and full count. When they have none left, then the game can be affected.
Hopefully, I am just repeating information that the assistant coaches have already given them. To me this is good game management
