Agree with Camron and to develop it a little further (i.e., the way in which you confirm the number of free thros), one of the things you're pre-gaming is to have the lead visually indicate the number of shots with the partner(s) mirroring. That way everyone's on the same page before the ball's bounced to the shooter.
Also it's a good time to remind everyone to take their time. The ball's dead and clock is (hopefully) not running. Don't dawdle, but take the time to get it right. |

And, in the OP -- you can try to get your partner's attention even after s/he's administered and if there's an issue, blow the whistle before the try is released. |

Just wait. Eventually, s/he'll wonder what's going on and look at you. Indicate the WRONG number on purpose along with a look that says "this is why we confirm, dumbass."

I do this all the time. I tell my partners in our pregame that I’ll stand there and stare at them until I get a signal acknowledging they’ve seen me. I tell them if I don’t receive a response I’m assuming they're involved in something else.

I think the point that brings the official to state the digits is from the IAABO book when giving the report to state the color and number while simultaneously display the digits. I think it's a mental thing really, hold up 1 and 2 fingers for the number 12 and you're going to say the number of fingers you just displayed.

Nah, just practice. I've usually completed saying the entire number as I'm starting to display the first digit.

Thanks, gives me something to consider! Pre-season game in 2 hours but not sure that's going to make the list of things to try today!

The main reason we're told to say the number, not the digits, is because some scorers may only hear one of the two digits.
So if you mean to report a foul on "32", but say "3-2", the scorer may only hear "3" and mess up the scorebook. |

Just Sayin' ...

But isn't also equally as possible that when "thirty-two" is reported that the scorer may only hear the first number, "thirty", and mess up the scorebook?
