Is it worse to loose the shooter or the player who fouled?...
I would rather loose the shooter, 99% of the time they step to the line.

Verbalizing the fouler lets the players and your co-officials know who the foul was called on. It kind of sucks when the calling official doesn't say anything, and as the players line up they ask you "Who was it on?" and your partner is 47 feet away at the division line, reporting.
True, but in our area (Houston) they want all the game officials to know who the shooter is. (I guess some coaches have.. umm "unintentionally" ...sent the wrong shooter to the line after a timeout, for example.)
