I said, “Coach, you gotta help me here. Who was that on?” He did not say a word but just turned away from me. I stood there at the table not knowing what to do, when a fan yelled out, “Number 15”. So I reported, “White, 15”, and walked away. I wonder if that coach will remember me when I ref his team at his school tonight?

I wouldn't get in the habit of asking a coach who fouled. Try your partner first. If he can't help you, the table crew might. If it's a girls game, just ask the team that fouled and they will usually fess up.
