I still want to know this though: If you are administering the throw-in and your partner is doing anything to tell you he is not ready, why can you not figure that out on your own??

I don't need anyone to tell me they have counted 10 because I've already done it.
Maybe there is a sub approaching the table you didn't see, or maybe there is a player finishing up a quick shoe lace tie that you didn't see, or maybe the third official is taking care of something 80 ft away that you might not immediately recognize...this list could go on. But, that is the idea. I've yet to work with an omniscient partner. Nor am I. So good communication - verbal and non verbal - is always essential.
