If At First You Don't Succeed ... Doesn't Work For Me ...
I've tried, many times, but I can't remember both numbers. When I've tried in the past, I've often mixed them up when reporting to the table. I will know what my shooter looks like, red hair, glasses, etc., but I no longer bother to identify his, or her, number. If there are two "shooters" in the area of the foul, I will physically point out the shooter to my partner. I tell my partner this in every pregame. It's just something that I can't do, just like some people can't both walk, and chew gum.

32 fouled 12.Seems easier than remembering to "numbers" and where they go. In the end, it is the same info, but the way you think about it can make all the difference in how easy it is to remember.

I cringe during those rare times when I call a double foul. I'm thinking "Blue 22, White 33" all the way to the table, afraid that I'll end up reporting "Blue 33, White 22". It's just something that is not properly hardwired into my brain. I'm on way way to the store to buy a pack of gum. On the way back I'm going to try to chew the gum, and walk, at the same time. Wish me luck.

4212 (forty-two, twelve) will not help me with a double foul.
