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?
I only report the number of shots to be taken, and I do not include phrases such as "play the miss".

However, I do use preventative phrases if someone was close to violating on a previous FTA, or if the post play is getting rougher, etc...
