I do the same thing, when we are close I will say " foul on 21, 5 is my shooter if we have one."

Second, I highly recommend being aware of the foul count (on the scoreboard) and even going as far as communicating when the next foul will result in bonus with your crew during the game. If there is no foul count on the scoreboard, I would ask the table when you know you are getting close. Once subs start coming in, good luck untangling that mess.

These are little things you can do to avoid unpleasant situations like the one mentioned.
Yeah, the foul count was on the center score board above our heads so it was hard to see. The next game I was perfect at it and was definitely paying more attention.
