I take some pride in my now-defunct officiating career that this was a non-negotiable with me whether doing 2- or 3-man crews. While we always tried to be efficient/quick with FT administration we always pre-gamed that all of us would indicate the number of free throws to be attempted prior to placing the ball at the disposal of the shooter.

The quote went something like "4 out of the 5 CE have to do with FT. Let's not have to worry about those 4 tonight."
