I'd lose it, just my personal preference. Have an official here who always says "gentlemen", drives me nuts. Another guy, emphasizes 'two' with a high pitch like a cartoon character

Yesterday,

I will offer my preference for simplicity: "One", "Two", "One-and-one" But, depending on circumstances I will embellish with "Made basket, One throw", "Bonus, One-and-one", "Double bonus, Two".

And WTF?, I've had 2 partners in the past few weeks (both in youth rec situations) say on the first of a two free-throw situation, "the first one is dead."

If two shots, it's 'two' if one shot, it's 'play'. When we are in the last few seconds (< 10) I will add a mention on the last shot to, 'check your clock' before bouncing the ball to the free throw shooter.

Do you think that they will stand around and do nothing otherwise?
WTF??? |

I find that high school players understand that less is more. Sometimes when we say 'one-an-one' after the 1st made basket, players will return to offense and defensive positions, clearing not understanding the phrase, 'one and one' and awaiting the 2nd throw while standing in the blocks. The word 'play' lets everyone know that on this shot play will resume.
I'm sure its frustrating for a coach and maybe the players when the team has the ball and is still dribbling or passing the ball when time expires. The mention to 'check your clock' is a reminder for both teams that time will expire very soon. I have noticed that after saying that, some, (not all) players actually check the clock and I've got to believe, have there thoughts focused on gettng a shot off in the waning seconds, or maybe having the moxie to call a TO (if one is needed).
