I also think it would be good procedure to put the bonus lights on after the 6th foul and the ball has been inbounded so again a quick glance and everyone in the gym will know the procedure for the 7th foul.

Thats how the table I run works. After the sixth foul is reported, once the ball is handed to the inbounder or if shooting the ball is given to shooter on the second ft the bonus light goes on to indicate we are know in the bonus situation.

Of course we run a tight ship and as such your original situation never happens. No sooner than you report the foul and look up on the scoreboard you will see the correct number of team fouls.

We would never put up 7 fouls when only six have been committed. Thats what the bonus light is for, to indicate when the bonus situation is in effect.

Most officials that come to our school love working there because they know they will never have table problems.

Of course having a math teacher that been doing the book for 26 years and a registered official on the clock helps :-)
