I'm a scorekeeper
For me, the only thing a may want to hear is "Player Control" as opposed to a Push (although the rule changed this year regarding players with/without the ball). This way I can tell you if we are shooting or not, and if so how many.
You don't even need to tell me what number, the hands are good enough, along with the movement of the lips (Just so I can read them in addition to your hands). Hearing it does nothing for me.
Just this scorer's opinion. I'm the guy who also never does the play by play of what's needed to be recorded in the book, and when people do that, it really irks me (how many times I've said to myself - I KNOW WHO JUST SCORED THAT BASKET WHY DOES THE OTHER SCORER FEEL THE NEED TO GIVE ME AN UPDATE) Obviously conversing is good when there is/could be some confusion on tap ins or in a crowd of people.
