I always will give a visual signal in the backcourt, unless we are under a second, then I am more concerned with the grab and toss. That way I don't change how I am doing things from the rest of the game, and I can keep aware of the time, without looking up at the clock. It also helps me when we are in the "foul" situation. If we start with 9 seconds, and I count two before the foul, I can reasonably expect there to be no less than 6 seconds on the clock. If it is showing say 3, I know there is a problem.
