Make a BS call out of your primary for a quality players 5th foul without being cognizant of that fact! When the player gets upset & shows some emotion, go ahead & stick the DQ'd player making the coach lose his box on top of it all.
That player isn't DQ'd until you tell the coach, so this scenario is unlikely (I've never seen a player wait even long enough for me to report the foul before getting chippy).

That said, I'm not tracking all their fouls, but I'll know when #11 gets three fouls in the first half; or if #44 is on #4.

Had this last night, and #44 ended up fouling out with a foul that was in the top 5 easiest intentional fouls I've called.
