How many time-outs does each team get, and how do I record them?

Entitlement (Article 18.2): each time-out lasts 1 minute. Each team may be granted 2 time-outs in the first half, 3 in the second half (a maximum of 2 of them when the game clock shows 2:00 or less in the fourth quarter), and 1 in each overtime. Unused time-outs cannot be carried over to the next half or overtime.

Recording (Appendix B.7): the scorer enters each time-out granted below the team's name, writing the minute of the playing time in the boxes next to H1 (first half), H2 (second half) or OT (up to 3 overtimes). At the end of each half and overtime, unused boxes are marked with 2 horizontal parallel lines. If a team has not been granted its first second-half time-out before the game clock shows 2:00 in the fourth quarter, the scorer marks 2 horizontal lines in the team's first second-half box.

Duties: the scorer must notify the head coach, through a referee, when the head coach has no time-outs left in a half or overtime (Article 49.1). The timer sounds the signal when a team requests a time-out, starts the stopwatch when the referee gives the time-out signal, and sounds the signal after 50 seconds and again when the time-out ends (Articles 18.3.4 and 50.3).
