Refresher course
As a first year official, I can assure you all that the 'process' that we (new officials) spent the most time learning and practicing was reporting fouls. Just like Paulk1 says, blow it, bird dog, prelim, shoot / throw in, table. I was taught to jog to the table (I believe 'move with a purpose' is the phrase that my instructor used), report the foul, and make a switch with your partner(s). So...that's how I do it. I've only had the chance to work a handfull of JV games this year, and one of the (few) things I haven't caught any flak about is my approach to reporting fouls. I'm sure at the higher levels it becomes different, but there's my 2 cents for 'lower' level games.
