7th/10th foul

All the posts seem to be on how to remind or remember that the next foul will be the 7th or the 10th. Why not put it on the board and then we don't have to be reminded that it is the 6th and the next will be the 7th? That is my point. Simplify the process and then you don't have to be remember or be reminded.

Because you and your partner are communicating. I rarely NEED to be reminded, but it is important to communicate in order to avoid te one time in a hundred when you might get distracted and miss that a foul is the team's seventh.

Once my partner calls that seventh foul, I'm getting the shooter and getting the players lined up for foul shots. I don't need a scoreboard for that, and neither should anyone else.

I don't count on the table personnel telling me that we're in a bonus situation. By the time my partner reports we're already lined up.
