But I want to know the consquences of my whistle, at all times. I want to know prior to blowing my whistle that the star kid is done for the evening. I can take it to the table a bit stronger, I dont have to hear the horn bring me back to the table just to say, "thats 5."

Make a BS call out of your primary for a quality players 5th foul without being cognizant of that fact! When the player gets upset & shows some emotion, go ahead & stick the DQ'd player making the coach lose his box on top of it all.

That player isn't DQ'd until you tell the coach, so this scenario is unlikely (I've never seen a player wait even long enough for me to report the foul before getting chippy).

That said, I'm not tracking all their fouls, but I'll know when #11 gets three fouls in the first half; or if #44 is on #4.

Had this last night, and #44 ended up fouling out with a foul that was in the top 5 easiest intentional fouls I've called.

I've had players think they were on 3 when in fact they were on 4 & since we notify the coach first, welll...

Sigh. I should have know better. Where's that emoticon of me beating a dead horse's head against a tilted brick windmill?

Don't blame yourself, Bob. Blame the president of your choosing.

Ah, well that's a different story.

Either way, I'm working on not having those indefensible/anticipation foul calls at any point in the game. I've had one this year, and told his Dad as much in the coach's office after the game (his Dad was a coach for a different sport).
