The "Two" indication is probably the least important piece of information to be given at the spot of the foul; yet for many officials (high school AND college), it's the ONLY information given at the spot of the foul.
So you're against it because officials don't give a proper prelim? That's a stupid reason. Where did I say only the number of FTs should be shot? I didn't. I said number of shots and shooter. So WTF are you disagreeing with?

I guess there's no reason to give it as you report or when the L steps into the lane either, eh? After all, everybody knows it.

Wait a minute. You aren't disagreeing. I wish you'd make up your damn mind.
