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.

I'm going to incorporate this into pregame conferences this year. I always show the number of free throws after I report the foul, and most guys I work with do as well. I still get the occasional partner that reports then stares off in the distance as I attempt to mirror what I believe is the correct number of free throws. It hasn't bitten me in the arse yet, hence the reason to pregame it.

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 like this. I am going to add it to my pregame.
