I like knowing how many of each a team has left so I don't look like a fool when I ask the coach what they want. It looks much sharper when they request a timeout and you know they only have 30s left to signal that right away.

To whose who say they would ignore an excessive TO request- stop. You're doing the game a disservice. Unless you're working FIBA. Then we ignore excessive TO requests.
