NOT putting the fouls up, could set you up for the CE -- if the 6 stays up there for too long (and the book doesn't tell you it was the 7th), you might administer a throw-in instead of shooting FTs

I sorta see the point. We had one of these timers last week. As I'm reporting a foul, I see 6 on the board on my way to the table. Now, I *know* we didn't have six before the foul, because I didn't signal such to my partners (and we always do that). So I pointed to the endline where we were going to have a throw-in knowing that there was a very small chance we missed a foul somewhere and would be shooting. And then the PA announcer said it was the sixth team foul.

I'd prefer the book, timer, and PA announcer wait and give us the courtesy of reporting the foul first before recording anything. We don't always get that and I'm not going to make a big deal out of it if we don't....
