I worked one years ago with the director of a rec league, who administrates for a living, but doesn't officiate.
Late in a game and during a time out, he comes to me and says, "Okay, number 20 has four fouls. Let's make sure the last one isn't a marginal one." I heartily explain to him that I never, ever want to know how many fouls a player has, because it can indeed compromise one's judgment and integrity.
"Well," he ponders as he looks away, "let's just agree to disagree."
