Wrong Player Fouls Out??

[johnnyrao]

I learned from something similar a few weeks ago. Actually, it's not very similar but this situation made me think of it. I was T and my partner was L (three person mechanics). It was on transition and there was a close block / charge type call. Based on our pre-game it should have been my call since it came from my primary coverage. However, my partner was right in front of it since we were transitioning so I deferred to him. If I took the call I was ready to call a block. He came up with a PC. No problem since neither signaled until we made eye contact. He makes his call and heads to the table to report. As he goes by me he says, "I forgot who fouled. Can you help me?" Since I was prepared to call a block I had no idea who the offensive player was. He looked around and remembered, reported it, and we played on. Hopefully if I get into this situation again I will remember all the players involved. Just a little game management and situational awareness thing for me.
