Totally disagree. Table could pass bad info to you and then you are passing bad info on to the teams. Now, I will ask both bookkeepers what time-out counts they have to make sure they match, but the only time-out information I'm passing along to the coach is the one where I say "Coach, you have no more time-outs left."
