The ONLY time I will show the count as BU is if PU is asking me to confirm his count (our "signal" for this is to make eye contact and PU wiggles his fingers - BU then briefly shows the count in front of his chest). PU is still in charge of the count, but if PU has need to ask, BU is there for him.
PWL - take a little care to make note of when you are responding as a player. I'm sure that even you can understand that your comment above sounded WAY off if you were speaking as an umpire.
