I think the conference's response is enough reason to call the timeout. I wouldn't call the technical at the spot of the timeout. I would wait until the table informs you that the team is out of timeouts.

Precisely why I never ask the table how many timeouts each team has. I have to grant the (proper) request anyhow. I don't count fouls or timeouts. Coaches are best for that.

I will, however, ask the scorers if their books match. I don't want to figure out later that Team A has a TO left by their math, but none available according to the Team B scorebook.
