I am always patient when posting fouls on the scoreboard, & will either hold up the "one & one" for fouls 7-9, "2" for 10th foul, & "5" when a player accumulates their 5th foul.
The scorer is, as part of duties/responsibilities, is supposed to:
NOTIFY THE NEARER OFFICIAL WHEN:
1. The bonus penalty is in effect for the 7th, 8th & 9th team foul in each half. The bonus display indicates a second free throw is awarded for all common fouls (other than player-control) if the first free throw is successful. The proper bonus panel, such as (H for home & V for visitor) shall be displayed after the penalty for the sixth team foul has been administered. Another
method is to activate a light or device nearest the basket of the team which is to receive the bonus.
2. The 10th team foul occurs each half. Thereafter, the bonus (2nd free throw) is awarded for a common foul (except player control) whether or not the first is successful.
3. Any player is charged with his or her 5th foul (personal or technical), the second technical foul is charged to any team member, bench personnel, directly to the head coach, or the 3rd technical foul is charged to the head coach.
Sounds like that table crew needs to be retrained as to their duties/responsibilities.
