If I think I've lost the count, I yell, "Bob, I've got x and x. Is that what you have?" If a coach asked me to get help, I will first make sure I know what he's asking. In this case I would then yell, "Bob, did the ball hit the ground?"

Of course I'd make slight adjustments if my partner was not Bob.
