who fouled. Report the foul to the table with two hands,
indicating the number of the player who fouled. When the
number of the player who fouled cannot be made with two
hands (ex. 49, 67, 83) the official will signal the first number
followed by the second number while clearly verbalizing
the number to the scorer. The palms of the hands showing
the numbers should always face the scorer.

(There's a picture that goes with this, but I can't figure out how to post it)

Thanks guys.

Short of taking off one shoes and socks, it looks like the key is ...

... clearly verbalizing the number to the scorer.
