I had a habit of making a call, but not really being diligent about stating it at the spot and then going to the reporting area. I've worked on that and it has really helped me be more accurate and organized when I get to the area. Also, my partner has typically heard the call and if I do have a memory lapse he/she is more able to help.
Also, when working with a good table crew, they've often times noted the number of the player who fouled and if you call a number they don't expect they'll initiate a short conversation to make sure it's correct. I don't want to have this happen often but I'd rather get it correctly booked.
Sometimes if there's a physical characteristic you can note as well as the number it will help. eg: tallest player on the court. etc.
