This happened at a game last night. Official comes to table and says "Green 51" and indicates the type of foul, and 2 shots. Green coach stands up and asks who the foul was on, and ref repeats green 51. Coach says, I don't have a 51, and sure enough he doesn't. Now the refs are in a pickle cuz they really don't know/remember who the foul was on. So, they picked a girl that was no wheres close to the play. What should have been done in that situation?
Ask the table, ask a friend who's watching, ask the girl who took the foul, look for a number that might have been mistaken for 51 (such as 54, or 31, or even 15), dig through your memory bank for any distinguishing feature. If worse comes to worse, I think you might get away with charging a team foul that doesn't go against an individual. The reason I have lots of ammunition for this battle is that I fight it a lot.
