Yep, certainly agree. I usually don't tell them regardless. Like you, I do find out how many they have just to make sure the books agree. Other than that, I don't really care. If a coach doesn't have any and wants a timeout I will grant them one if I can.

Ok, yes, you are required to grant them one if they ask for it, even if they don't have any left.

Furthermore, I agree with not telling them that they have X number left. That is unnecessary and can only lead to problems.

However, you ARE REQUIRED to notify the team and coach when they have used their last time-out. I hope that you do this.

Rule 2, Section 11 Scorer's Duties
ART. 6 . . . Record the time-out information charged to each team (who and when) and notify a team and its coach, through an official, whenever that team is granted its final allotted charged time-out.
