We had a team around here a few years ago that started that up. We tried to end it and there was a whole big deal made by their coaches/AD and our association.Couple of times players and coach were t'd for being asked to stop and insisted they didn't have to.
Bottom line was when our association met with the AD about it decision was made that they were aloud to call out defenses or changes in defenses and are allowed to communicate to teammates. Coach/program suggested that they were pressing and responsibilities or press angles on inbounds changed with count. NOt that is matters but video did show this to be true.
Bottom line was we were told we couldn't stop them from counting, but they were told there would be no leniency in regards to complaints from players, team and coaches or inciting crowd in regards to count. Any debate would be an immediate T. To their credit I don't think they got any T's after this understanding was reached.
A couple of years later coaching change stopped the press and behavior anyway.
