I agree that this is penalized when it occurs and if it had been several live ball/deadballs earlier that you have no recourse.

That being said... If you only have one scorekeeper (especially the home team) and he puts it in the book and then tells you several minutes later... well Hamlet maight say something about Denmark....

By rule you cannot penalize the team for the change... I would tell the visiting coach that it is too late to penalize the change and that he was more than welcome to have a scorekeeper at the table. The fact that he did not negates any penalty or recourse that he might have ...

I would have a serious talk with the scorekeeper about when we get notified.
