I know its often taught to say Time only, but my experience has taught me to signal time with the hands - and voice if needed (I always say it, probably without thinking)

and then to verbalize DEAD BALL!

Its always effective in stopping everything!

I've seen too many umpires call time and then everything just keeps on going!

Just my own experience! (And I should add in training this follows FED rule 5 for dead ball)
