I have always reported with one hand. I have always said "four four" for 44 or "three two" for 32. Although I must say that I do say "eleven" don't know why. If I have a double number, i.e 44, I use one hand and flip it over for the second number. My personal preference is to stop somwhere on the court for the reporting, I don't like reporting on the fly unless I am instructed to do so, too many variables. Plus, stopping usually calls the attention of the table. I have also found that using a strong voice does wonders to avoid table confusion. I can never remember having the table ask me to repeat a number, although I have called a foul on a wrong number a few times; but I guess my reporting was good enough!

Not to muddy the waters, but I always find myself looking at the timekeeper instead of the scorer when I report. Even when I make initial eye contact with the scorer, I end up looking at the timekeeper. Does anyone else do that?
