I honestly think it depends on how it's verbalized. If you're informing each other, then no. If you're yelling it out as a preliminary indicator, then maybe.
That said, I can sympathize with jar's questions, except for the fact that every supervisor, trainer, and coordinator I've ever heard of interprets this the same way. Also, the contrast with the NCAA-W ruling makes it even more obvious. Attempts to argue your way out of this ruling pretty much end there, cause you know what they say about when it's you against the world.
