We don't? That is exactly what we teach new officials to say in our training classes. Much less likely to be misunderstood than a non-natural two-two.

I'm not sure I agree that one is more or less likely to be misunderstood, but I'm a reformed "two two" guy. No one taught me one way or the other, for some reason I just started doing it that way.

Nothing in the rule book against it, though this wouldn't be a concern with NBA referees as league offices knows everyone's number and would have to approve this kind of stuff well before hand.

I also don't think it's every been illegal for 0 and 00 on the same team in the NBA...just rarely seen.
