[just another ref]

How does everyone feel about the suggestion to ask the table if there are players in foul trouble? I personally see it as not a very good idea. If someone on either team hears this information being passed, they will assume the worst: either "You are out to get him!" or "You are protecting him!" Also, I prefer to not have a call subconsciously affected by the knowledge that a certain player has 4 fouls. Often enough, everyone knows, especially if it is a team's star, and that cannot be helped, but I would suggest that this is one case where too much information can be a dangerous thing.
