Just plain old "Spot" does the trick as well as "2" on free throws or "Blue" on throw in. No need for superfluous, er, superflus, sperlious.....er...superfluous
unnecessary verbiage.

You calling for your dog?
You're talking to a specific player, not making a call. Being a little more conversational is not a bad thing.
I either tell the player "You can run the line" or "You have to throw from this spot", or "Its a spot throwin". I want them to understand what I'm adminstering....not just communicate the minimum and tag them with a call if they don't grasp it.
While "2" on the FTs might be sufficient, "2(3) shots" provides a confirmation of the number with the plural "shots" vs. "1 shot" or "1 and 1" ..... This allows for a little higher chance that everyone gets the information. This is completely different than something like "I've got a foul on while number 42 with a block" where the extra words are truly a waste.
