2) Part of the scorer's job is to notify the closest official when a team has taken it's last TO, so that the official can then inform the coach of that team. Just make sure pre-game that the scorer will be doing his job properly and forget about TO's.

2) What difference does knowing how many fouls a particular player has really make? You're going to call a foul if it occurs anyway, aren't you? And if you call the foul and a player does foul out, no matter what you're going to have to "expedite the process". Nothing really changes, no matter what the circumstances, so why waste time tracking fouls?
