Twenty four or two four?

"Blue, twenty-four, two shots."

Stupid question...I assume the infraction is still signaled?

Not a stupid question.
Yes, it's still signaled, I didn't address my hand signals, which still include the numbers on the jersey and the infraction.

Interesting. What is the rationale for not verbalizing the infraction? Giving somebody one less thing to argue about?

Yep. I've been taught - "you can't quote silence." In the case of reporting, less talk is better.

"Red, 24" (insert signal) "two"

You are reporting the color and number to the scorer at the table. After they get this information they don't care what kind of foul you have. When signalling the type of infraction (and or and not verbalizing the infraction) you are now giving additional information to the coaches who are watching, and maybe the fans who are watching what you are doing.
