I do not try to keep track of timeouts throughout the game and would rather a partner NOT tell me when they are or come back from the table and say "white has 2 fulls and a 30 and blue has 3 fulls." I just smile and kinda think, good for them.

End of the game, yes I will make sure I know if they have 1 or Zero left. That's all I want to need and know.

As for verbalizing signals I really don't say anything other than maybe "body" with the push mechanic on plays to make sure people know where the contact was if up top was clean. I think sometimes I do say, "hit" on the illegal use of hands signal. Probably out of habit but I don't do it nearly as often as I use to.

ETA- The one signal verbalized more often than not by me and those I observe is on Player Control.

The only value I see in keeping track of timeouts is to help expedite the process if I know a coach is out of one type or the other. When I know that, I don't have to bother asking which one they want.
