I just don't like the optics.

BillyMac charges Blue #5 with a foul, heads to the reporting area, and reports the foul to the table. Table informs BillyMac that it's Blue 5's fifth personal foul. BillyMac scampers timidly over to his partner and tells him that Blue 5 is disqualified and could he please mosey on over to the Blue head coach and inform him of such. Partner heads over to the Blue head coach and informs him that Blue 5 is disqualified. Blue head coach yells over to BillyMac, "Hey. You didn't have the guts tell me face to face, man to man, mano a mano?".

Yeah, I made up the last part, but I still don't like the optics.
I pregame that if turn and start walking back towards the crew while telling them a player has 5 fouls, that means I want my partner to inform the coach.
