I think we can talk techniques until we are blue in the face, but the best answer is to just do it. If we make a conscious effort before each game that we will know who our shooter is, or how many team fouls there are, it will eventually become second nature. Think back to the first time you ever officiated. Many of us had trouble coming up with a closed fist for a foul, and an open palm for a violation. Now, with more experience it is automatic. The same thing happens with knowing the shooter and the foul situation.
