I do not have a problem with addressing a coach to explain the situation, de facto.

I can see this both ways. Many a time the delayed violation fist isn't noticed by coaches and it's followed usually by a verbal explanation.

I don't like to get into a habit of being a coach's assistant by alerting them to situations on the floor.

"Coach, I've almost reached a 10 second count"

In this rare instance, I may alert the coach to the delayed call to avoid a rash of questions.

I do tend to tell a coach/team on coming out of TO that they have the endline if applicable.
