Jeff's idea falls short IMO simply because to the non-calling official it should be *obvious* that the basket should count, in most cases the calling offical has no way of knowing where the ball was if he's making an off-ball call. This is something you must convince your partner of or as a crew you are sunk.
IMO.

It is fine that you disagree with my point of view on this, but you can give all the information in the world and still have the calling official not accept your information. I have had a partner turn down my information and I am not going to get into a debate on the floor about the situation. All you do is give the information, it is up to them to decide to take it into consideration. And I know when I blow my whistle, I consider the status of the ball and how that contact might have affected that play. I know what I am going to do in most cases without any other information. Maybe an official that makes this call already realizes what he wants to do.
Peace
