Or, "1 and 1." Nothing else is needed.

I'm willing to bet that smart-azz l'il sh!t hasn't changed one bit either. They never do.

This is all that I say as well.

Just the other day, I called a lane violation for the first time in 2-3 years.

Since they moved the first rebounder up a space, above the block, a few years ago, I think that there have been fewer lane violations.

Hopefully, they replied, "Duh, you score a point."

I think "duh" is a little more recent. As I recall, in the 80's we said, "uh doy." But of course all colloquialism is local...

If memory serves one official said something similar and the reply was "But what do we do after that since we can't play b/c I didn't miss" The quote may not be perfect as I am getting this second hand! I remember him as such a clever young man
