I would agree that it is best not to give the offense a cue, and therefore I do not yell "touch" or "catch" or anything else upon the first touch. Nobody in my association has told me to do so, although there are a number of folks who do it. I was thinking that it might be a good idea, but have reconsidered. I also, would not yell "no catch" for the reason stated above. I will continue to only verbalize the out when it is actually made.

Actually, they (GH, BH, and GsC) did instruct us to call out "touch" or "catch" for our partner's benefit of watching the tag-up by the baserunners. Not that I agree with it (I agree with you on not calling it unless it's an out) but it was taught in our training.
