I agree. When I work two-man, I'll freeze my eyes for a moment, just to make sure I have the right jersey number of the person that committed the foul, and if needed, the jersey number of the person shooting the free throws, and announce whether it's spot throw-in while pointing at the spot or free throws and how many. But I don't stand there like a mannequin in the store, and wait for the world to start moving again. I make a slow move towards the table once I have eye contact with my partner and see that he/she got the info needed (shots or spot).
