If you don't change the way you call fouls regardless of who the player is, then why do you make this statement? If that player has four fouls and he does something that you would have called a foul if it had been his first, then call it now. Treating him any other way would be unfair to everyone.

IMHO, there is never anything wrong with using a player's 4th foul as a gentle reminder to the crew that we need to have patient whistles and not anticipate a foul. Should we do that all game? Of course we should. However, a call that we wish we could have back (and who among us has never had one of those?) is magnified when it happens to be the foul that disqualifies a player with their fifth.
