When a number is available, and we all try to have numbers but may not always get them, it is provided to the WH and offending sides wing simply because the coach is usually asking for a number. The reasoning behind giving the number to the corresponding wing is so we aren't shouting numbers across the field. This isn't the NFL and we don't need to bring any further attention to the penalty-maker, he probably already feels bad enough.

I've never understood this. Working basketball, we call a foul on the player and it's ANNOUNCED over the PA! Who cares who knows if a kid was holding or whatever?
I like the change in the NCAA where the numbers are announced -- it lets the TV cameras find the foul for a replay.
