Only tell coaches when they have used all of their timeouts, or when they have used an excessive time out.

OOPS...I have done that too many times to count..Coach you got one TO remaining

Don't beat yourself up about it. Maybe it's one of those "When in Rome" things. Maybe it's accepted in your little corner of the woods? But, by NFHS rule, officials are only required to tell the coach when he has used up all of his timeouts, or has used an excessive timeout.

Me neither. I think new guys pick it up from vets and it just gets perpetuated. A few guys do it around here, but they also tend to retrieve the ball after the final horn.
