That makes a difference how?
If the whistle blows I hope the table is paying attention just like my floor partner.
If I'm saying it's red ball or red 23 is my shooter the scorer should have the answer, no?

Mark does pay attention from the table, but my view while sitting down at halfcourt isn't always the best.
Also, I've noticed at the college level, not too many officials report where the ball is going to be inbounded. They only say whether it's 1 or 2 shots (sometimes the 1-and-1 if they're on the ball), and I've just started getting shooters' numbers this year with the change in the media timeout rule. (And even that's been spotty at best.)
