Ignore time out?

Be that as it may, if this isn't done, it doesn't allow the coach any leeway.

Technical foul for excessive timeout.

"But, nobody told me I was out!"

"Oops, sorry about that coach. Try to get you next time."

It is a courtesy to inform the coach, albeit one that is written in the book. It is still ultimately his responsibility to know.

No, it doesn't get the coach out of the immediate technical, but at the same time that doesn't make it any less true that a rule has been misapplied.

And what penalty is applied? Usually rules of significance have a rules remedy if not applied properly. If you are not getting rid of the scorer (good luck with that) what rule or practical application are you going to do something about it? And when you remove the scorer, what are you going to tell your assignor? Do you think your assignor is going to think that was the best way to handle the situation?
