I thought that I was the only one with this problem. I will point the shooter out to my partner, especially if it's an off the ball foul, like a rebounding foul, and I will try to see what the shooter looks like, i.e., tall, dark hair, glasses, headband, etc., but I won't look at the shooter's number, and I tell this to my partner in my pregame: Off official should help identifying free throw shooter.

Maybe we can start a support group: Officials Who Have Difficulty Remembering Two Numbers. At our first meeting we can talk about calling a double foul, and keeping the colors, and numbers, straight.
