I've had trouble keeping track of details, too, and what I've done is to memorize a thought process for each aspect of the game. So after I whistle the play dead, I have an automatic pattern of what thoughts come into my head, and what actions are associated with those thoughts. I don't think it would be remotely out of line to signal the number of shots to the ref every time a foul is called. Put into the process double-checking the book for number of fouls and you'll be pretty much 100%.

Just the fact that you're concerned about a single mistake is a sign of why you have that job. You're trying to do the best you can, and you want that to be 100%. Stick to it!
