Also, make sure you keep track of the individual fouls, so you never foul out the star player.
A good table crew won't make us look any better, but a bad table will definitely make us look bad. The only thing you can do is to keep verifying information, so it is less likely that a problem will show up.
isualum12, it looked like you took the word of the clock operator on his signal alone, then hustled down to administer FT's. I would've taken the extra few seconds to ask the scorekeeper, "Is that the 10th foul?" That will give them the opportunity to re-count, and give you the yes or no. Then if they say no, the clock and book can work it out before you have a 2-10 situation.
