Yes, they already know (or should anyways). That doesn't relieve us of our duty to inform them.

Then how are you going to know? Do you keep track with a pad in your pocket? Do you go buy the scoreboard if that information is on the scoreboard (like the possession arrow)?

This is not about being right, how are you going to even know what their timeout situation is in the first place?

If you want to go spending your time at the table, be my guest. I am not doing that and I think I am OK doing what I have been doing. No one cares about this but guys like you. Never had a single supervisor care and even had people suggest we have to be careful with what we tell coaches as if that information is wrong, who do you think they are going to claim told them the wrong information if we are constantly telling them stuff?
