This is overstating it. By rule, there is one time we must inform the coach how many time-outs are left. The rules are silent as to whether we should or should not indicate the number remaining in other circumstances.

It's a bad idea but it's not against the rules.

Otherwise, coaches should know or their scorekeeper already tells them.

You should as it's a required duty of an official.
