What I want to know is how that little tidbit of information is going to help me "call the best game possible". Soooooooo, you tell me , Dan.....how is knowing that a player has four fouls going to help me call the best game possible? Exactly what am I supposed to do differently with that knowledge when I get it?

This has already been answered by others, so I'll try it another way.
There are lots of bits of information that we carry with us that don't necessarily help us call a better game. For instance, when I work a game I make sure I say hello to the security person and that I know who has the locker room key. Does any of this let me do anything differently? No. Do I feel better having this information? Yes.
So now here's a question for you: what do YOU do differently by NOT knowing a player's foul status? There's gotta be something of value to you in so stubbornly ignoring a basic part of the game.
