You are giving the throw-in Team a big advantage by doing it. You are not suppose to count out loud for that purpose. Officials should never do this under any circumstances. It is not supported by the rules or the mechanics of NF or NCAA that I am aware of. And you are allowing the Throw-in Team to avoid a turnover. Do not take the game away from the defense by doing this.

Isn't it as much an advantage to say "Stay on the spot"
or "you can run the endline" to the player throwing the
ball in?

BTW, I agree you should not count aloud. But when asked a
reasonable question in a reasonable manner just answer it.
