I do the same as Smitty indicates. I announce the number of shots nice and loud so everyone knows how many the shooter will take before bouncing the ball to the shooter (of course, that doesn't prevent the "zoned out" player who isn't paying attention from jumping in the lane anyhow).
I "used to" indicate number of shots with my hand while backing out too, but was told not to during an evaluation. I stopped.
