Two in one game

[Rich]

If a player asks for a timeout, you grant it. You don't ignore it or remind the player that he's out. You grant it.

I agree with preventive officiating -- telling a coach he is out of timeouts, for instance. However, when someone asks for a timeout in a game, the timeout is always granted since additional timeouts can be bought at the cost of a technical foul. It's in the book.
