I believe this is important info to pass on during post-game discussion.
I have been told never to verbalize twenty or thirty or full count.

Your post raises the big question about the need for a verbal "Zero, Oh or No" ball count.
There is no need to verbalize the "Zero, Oh or No" counts.
For example, 0 ball, 1 strike is 1 strike, and 0 ball, 2 strikes is 2 strikes.
Verbalize 1 or 2 strikes, or 1, 2 or 3 balls, only adding "Oh or No" from time to time.

We all have been there, done that at one time or another. Asking for a reason why or for an explanation after using them when I am told not to really isn't a discussion I want to enter. There are some small things like this that are simple to accept by most people. Then again, I don't always do what I'm told either, sometimes I simply forget, or continue to ignore great advice and do the things I want to do.
