It's not necessary to say anything. Simply give the signal that corresponds to the foul.
Call the foul:
Whistle and raise fist to recognize foul.
Bird dog if you want to, I don't.
Tell your partner who the foul is on, who the shooter is, if there is a shooter or where the spot is for the throw-in.
Report to the table:
"Blue, 4-4!"
Give signal. No verbalization is necessary.
Indicate number of shots if necessary.
That's all.

Was that on 4, or 44?
