This happened at a game last night. Official comes to table and says "Green 51" and indicates the type of foul, and 2 shots. Green coach stands up and asks who the foul was on, and ref repeats green 51. Coach says, I don't have a 51, and sure enough he doesn't. Now the refs are in a pickle cuz they really don't know/remember who the foul was on. So, they picked a girl that was no wheres close to the play. What should have been done in that situation?

Remember that the personnel at the scorer's table are part of your crew. Ask them if they saw who the foul was on. Don't guess, that isn't fair to the girl who is charged with the foul. One nice thing about reffing a girls game is how polite they are. I screwed up once and forgot the number of the fouler. I turned around and a girl could see that I was looking for the fouler. She came up and said, "Mr. Referee, I'm the one that fouled."
