In NCAA, you can use the video monitor to determine who the shooter should be.

I usually reply as though games were high school unless NCAA is specifically mentioned. Maybe I should specify that. lol

Happened to me several times in my first few years. Now I make it a point to say the shooter's number as part of my preliminary signal routine.

Whistle. Fist. "White 42, hold" "23 is our shooter". Then move to report to the table.

If I'm the non-calling official, I will verbalize the (Potential) shooter as soon as I can.

If a timeout is called, I blow the whistle, say "23's our shooter, timeout white" or somesuch.

Helps me remember it.

Of course, if all that fails.... I'd ask, in this order: partner(s), table, players, coaches (both of them). Hopefully it doesn't get past asking my partner(s).

With the encouragement of my local interpreter, I tried this about twenty-five years ago. By the time I got to the table, it became, ""White 23, hold" "42 is our shooter". Must be something wrong with the axons, and dendrites, in my brain. Now, I just point to the shooter for the benefit of my partner.

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

If you're my partner, I don't want you to call out a number. Get my shooter -- point at him and say, "Shooter!" but giving the number there would likely scramble my brain at an inopportune moment.

Hmmm... interesting. Might be something to pregame with my partner(s)... if they want me to verbalize the shooter's number when I'm the non-calling official.

I'd prefer my partner's brains unscrambled.
