Public address talking during FTs

[26 Year Gap]

I try to move things along with FTs, but PA announcers slow things down because you have to wait for them to stop talking. If they would just say "Jones has 2 FTs" right after the foul is reported instead of waiting till the ball is about to be given to the shooter to say "Jones is now shooting the first of his 2 FTs" and followed with "Jones is now shooting his 2nd FT", I would be a happier camper. And some of them also add "Jones scores on his first FT".

When I first started I would say "Two shots, rest on this one, blah blah blah" and similar banter on the 2nd one. I found that the game would move along better if I told them "2" or "1" and gave the shooter the ball. The PA announcing makes me feel like I have regressed.
