When play is ready to resume after the change, as PU I will give the count. I do not offer the number of outs, but will respond if asked. As BU, I am counting pitches and when the PU is done with paperwork, I will flash my partner the number of warmup pitches taken so far.
Now, when working rec level games, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. For example, as BU, I stopped a game, brought the defensive coach to the circle and explained to coach & pitcher why such & such was an illegal pitch and that for now, we were going to just fix it. Those games are pretty much like JV games - usually having players, coaches, and umpires there to learn.
