Good advice I've received over the years:
* Players often "hear" only the last word of your statement. I've since had more success just stating "TWO" or "be ready...ONE and ONE!"
* Even though the rule has changed to allow subs only on the last FT, I still tell subs that replace players in the first two FT positions "one shot, okay?"...then state "ONE!" to everyone else. Good preventative mechanic.
Regarding Timeouts:
I actually had a HS player beleive me when I told him "The first team out of a time out gets the ball". Subsequently, he helped get his team out without delay, much to the delight and surpise of my partner!
