That should be the responsibility of your partner(s). If it was me, I would verbalize, "I've got your shooter, Rita", and even point at the player. If there was any confusion as to who the shooter might be on a foul I called, I would point at the player and tell my partner, "Here's my shooter". I would then hope my partner(s) would keep track of that player.

I usually have the same problem of keeping track of more than one number at a time when reporting a foul. That's why I try not to verbalize the shooter's number, how many fouls they have, how many TO's the team has left...er...never mind.
