Let them burn their timeouts if they wish, it might just be a better option than the alternative. They only have so many timeouts.
Regarding the opponent's question, if you want to answer. "They have the right to use their timeouts as they see fit." I'd probably say it with a wry smile.
It's not always easy, but it's imperative to remain above this sort of gamesmanship. If it rises to a technical, call it. If not, keep the game moving. Either way, don't let them suck you into the emotions of it all.
