You prove my exact point, "Tables make errors." No matter what I tell you, it is going to be based on what they tell me. If they are wrong, and you expect me to pass along that information, I am going to pass on incorrect information. So this is why it is ultimately your responsiblity to know what you call. I am only a messenger at best, not the keeper of the information. And if you run out, I am going to give a T regardless of how you you found out. And at the end of the day, I am only going to listen what the scorer told me, not what you think might have happen. I am not keeping a running total in my pocket. Sorry, I have much more important things to do.

And I will handle this just like any other situation. If yo think your star has 4 fouls and the table says five, we are going with the table. If you do not want that to happen, put someone at the table or pay close attention, so this never happens without you checking. Again, ultimately not my concern. It is funny how coaches can tell me what a rule is, how bad the call I just made, but you do not know how many timeouts you called?
