I might know if a player or 2 is on their 4th foul but I'm definitely not going to know every player's foul situation.

If thats how you want to run your ballgames. In mine the knucklehead gets the foul in multiple situations.

I try to stay cognizant of all the quality players fouls.

Who said there was a knucklehead involved?

And if I'm the primary and I have a clear foul by B2 you're saying I should then have a discussion with my parnter to see if he had the same foul? Folks I work with are going to expect me to take my foul to the table.

You know how we change the sitch 'round here!!

Negative sir. I'm sure that you lead quality pregames, so if you pregammed that doubles whistles go to the L except from Cs side, I would expect you to take it as well.
But there's nothing wrong with doing a "walk-by" if you're the non-calling official & have pertinent info to give.

If I'm doing a game in the Eagle's Nest, I'll probably give it to #34.

I think tomorrow I'm going to give the first 2 to #34. Even if there is no #34 playing. It'll be an homage.

Once again, Roman Law.

If my partner and I have whistles, we briefly talk about it. A great majority of the time, we have the same thing. ("20 white?" "Yup.") If we differ, we discuss.

And, why would I want to know how many fouls a player has? My job is to determine whether they fouled. It's someone else's job on my team to count them.

....
I'm only talking if one of us has a closed fist and the other an open hand (or held ball signal in combination with fist/hand).

Other than that the converstations are "I got it" or "you take it".

And if both say the same thing?

Gotcha. I still like to check which happened first, the travel or the foul, etc. It's such a rarity (open hand/closed fist), that I don't mind taking a few extra seconds.
