A good question, and I'll be interested to see how some others respond to this. 2-8-9 states we are to silently and visibly count seconds for backcourt, closely guarded, etc... While I've heard officials count out loud, I don't like it. Telling the player where I am in the count borders on counting out loud, and this appears contrary to 2-8-9. I'll keep my mouth shut.
