You got me there. Hard to argue with that one.

As long as we know that, we do know the reason. Just don't let the coach surprise you with that fact.

The main thing is not to act surprised. "Mr. Ref, we have 11 fouls and they have 3." "Yes, Coach, and your point is?"

"If you missed knowing the count, there might be a chance you missed a foul (or two).

Whether you know the count or not, there is an excellent chance that you missed some fouls on both teams. I don't know what you mean by this.
