I always verbalized calls when I was a Referee. Now my current Referee (who is a mentor of mine) also verbalizes calls which is where I got it from. It slowed me down and helped me be more deliberate. And as a basketball official that is what we do in that sport, so it comes naturally on some level with when signaling in football.
