It's a habit now when TO's are requested that I tell my partner who is shooting or who has possession for the throw in. I think it gets easier the more you slow down. The hard part for me is concentrating when I am reporting the foul to the table and a coach is yelling for a TO at the same time. First things first. I tell my partner the number of the shooter then I deal with the TO. After the TO is administered with the table, I repeat the number of the shooter or who has possession.

I do the same thing you do.

Here is how I learned:
In my first year I called a shooting foul, reported and gave a TO. My partner who was teaching me a lesson, asked who was the shooter, I replied I don't know. Since then, I always let my partner know the shooter or whats next before officially notifying the table to start the clock.
