I had a player on Tuesday ask me to count out loud on a throw-in as I was bouncing the ball to him. I shook my head no and said I couldn't. He was throwing the ball in again the next time I administered a throw-in and I explained to him briefly that the rules don't allow us to count out loud.

Can I remind a player that I am at 4 in the 5 second count ?????
