Work enough games, this is my 27th year, and you are going to eventually report the wrong number, and possibly forget the correct number, as you try to figure out where to switch, not to make a long switch, is it the bonus, or the double bonus, is it the fifth personal foul, who is the shooter, the coach is politely, or not politely, asking you a question,etc. When this has happened to me, I try to get help from my partner first, the table second, and if all else fails, ask the players. If I can't get help from anyone, and don't want to make an educated guess, is there any basis, at all, for assigning a team foul ,without the corresponding personal foul?

Nope.
