chartreusepenguin, please do not use this procedure. It was changed several years ago so that the R2 remains back away from the court so the he/she can see if the other team also wants a sub.

Two years ago when I was going for my Junior National Referee rating, a junior scorekeeper at JO's in Atlanta gave me the technique of not using the work "for" since it sounds the same as "four". Since that time, I say "On the right, 14 in, 9 out."; "On the left, 3 in, 21 out." Scorekeepers seem to appreciate the clarity.
