Inbounds counting
I learned a mechanic for inbounds at an IAABO camp ...I think... oh well I learned it somewhere.
I keep track of my count by holding out the corresponding number of fingers (start over for a ten count - that 5+5 deal). Additionally, for a throw-in my first count is slightly below shoulder level; 2 at shoulder level; 3 a little higher; 4 a little higher yet; 5 with whistle blowing is straight up. Nothing audible. It really doesn't add anything for the thrower because he's not watching me. I do feel it helps me show the impending situation and to sell the call.
