In need of a trick

This is my Achilles heel as well. I can't tell you how many times, after giving up the foul, I instantly found myself hoping my partner didn't give it back as I'd lost the info.

My goal is to continue to grow my game management, and taking in more and more info is part of that for me. I now often can tell you who a partner called a foul on, if that is 3 or 4 on a player, how many of those I've called, etc...except when I give up a foul on a double whistle. Have to continue working on that one...

Don't instantly give it up. Use it as an opportunity to confirm the call. Then, you;ll both have to get the numbers.

Good advice. I know what's happening - rather than focusing on the fouler/foulee "through and after" the play, I'm focusing on my partner and letting my focus wander.

Something good to work on tonight...along with a switch back to 2-man mechanics for the first time in three years...
