My biggest annoyance is the official that has to report twice. Four-two-four-two. For God's sake, is it 42 or 24? Or 4242?

For free throws:

I picked up "two times" from some partner over the years.

Doesn't matter what level I'm working, I just say "two times," "one and one," or "one" and bounce the ball. I don't need to give instructions as if they're relevant. If they're having trouble lining up, I'll say "red down low" (which really confuses the teams if one's wearing blue and the other white ).
"Two times guys/ladies" from me as well.

Agree 100% on the giving the number twice.
