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.

Agreed. The wording in the NFHS Officials Manual says the T (at lease in 3-person) should signal the number of FT's ... 3.2.3 D. 2.

Interesting to hear that most say the number (Thirty Two) rather than the digits (Three-Two). My board is based in NYC and our instructor was strict about telling us to say "three two" rather than "thirty two".

I have this so interesting that the NFHS manual says how to do this. That on score keepers it is harder to figure out what number you are saying. And it just sounds silly. At least they are not making us use Roman Numerals and sign language.

Oh but we are using sign language.

Same here in my little corner of 100% IAABO Connecticut, and it's probably the same throughout the entire state.
