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?

Had a Boys Varsity game where the announcer raised his voice into a staccato and almost falsetto "two" when saying "xxx is shooting
two!" After awhile I was tempted to imitate when talking to the players, but deferred.
I will offer my preference for simplicity: "One", "Two", "One-and-one"
But, depending on circumstances I will embellish with "Made basket, One throw", "Bonus, One-and-one", "Double bonus, Two".
