My question about the confusion... is it because the 55 was reported by the official as five-five?
I always speak english when reporting the number. I have never heard an announcer at any level say... Fouls is was on # three-two, Karl Malone for his second personal foul...
You never tell your partner hey look at five- five and two-three they are both going after each other...
Why is it that people think that reporting a foul is the only place we don't speak normally?
