Enunciate, make the clear signal; and if the base coaches fail to coach, oh well, too bad, so sad. I believe that generally, this is a good mechanic. However, what is still being taught is that calling "no tag" can be confused for "tag," and that "no tag" should not be used. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying what's being taught.
wadeintothem I use "no tag" and I give the full count. You dont need to preface the count with "she has.." "we have". Just say "no balls, 2 strikes." I never have an issue with giving the count. If I get snickers or juvenile crap about that, I've never heard it.
