The calling official should take a step or two towards the non-calling bench, and say in their general direction (or pop his head in our coaches' huddle if we are nearby) and say "Full, coach" or "30, coach". Just as a courtesy.

I was taught to figure out what we have (30 or full), alert the opposing coach, and then report and start the timer. In the case where I'm right in front of the table, I'll also give both teams a chance to reach the general area of their bench before I report.
