It is common in our area to include phrases like "Wait 'til it hits the rim" or other instructions when administering a free throw, but I think I will follow my partners advice and go to just giving the number of shots.
What do you guys say when administering a free throw?

Keep it short. Players should know that they are supposed to play on a miss on a one and one or a last free throw.
For very young players, something like "one, let it hit" (as per co2ice suggestion) the first couple of times might be useful. (I'm glad that in FIBA players don't have to wait the ball hits. I'm glad also we don't have one and one any more.)
