I've had it happen once or twice at the varsity level.
Here's one: Player driving opposite me as the lead. I closed down (didn't have time to cross over) and the defender got steamrolled. Easy player control foul. Unfortunately, the defender got plowed right into me (my feet) and I had to jump quickly to avoid getting leg whipped by the defender's body. Afterwards I checked on the defender to see he was OK and realized I had no idea who fouled him.
The table knew and nobody gave me grief for it since I was dodging a player.
The other time I was just a clueless idiot who was in a hurry to get to the table and get the game going. That time I paid the price by having to go back to my partner and coming up with a number. Not good.
That's why we need to stay at the spot of the foul and run through a mental checklist before heading to report.
