That could be confusing if the kid was near the 19-9 line.

Actually, it's just the opposite as this is telling the scorer precisely how many points are scored.
Remember that in these games (The summer leagues which don't wish to waste time with the free throw and just award the extra point.) the official is only verbalizing the number of points when the shooter is fouled on a successful try. So, if the try was a two, the official yells, "Three points." If the try was a three, the official yells, "Four points." The touchdown signal for a successful three point try is still given.

As long as you pre-game that with the table, you probably won't have any problem. But some of the score keepers I see in the summer barely manage to keep their eyes on the floor, much less the ref or the game. In the rec leagues I work, I'd never just say, "Three points."
