I agree with you 100% Hawks coach. I posted earlier in this thread what we did which included not giving a "T" to the requesting coach. I can't warrant giving a "T" when the officials (which include the official scorer) misinform him of information. That is not on the coach but rather on us.
As I stated the scorer only notified us that he had no timeouts left when we the V coach called what he thought was his last TO and we reported it to the table. She then beckoned me over and said that she screwed up and that his previous TO was his last. I called both coaches over, explained the situation, told home no "T" would be assessed and granted him an "extra" 30 second TO. I did this because I felt that he probably strategized with his team in the previous timeout with the notion that he had one more TO to use if he needed it. I did use the line, "I'd do the same for you" to the Home coach as well as "it is your book and I have to trust that you have a competent person on the book" (Not to say that she wasn't competent as she has done the book there for quite some time- everyone makes mistakes);).
